[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you looked into tutoring for your daughter? MCPS provides some options for free. Then on the private side, there's Mathnasium, Kumon, etc.[/quote] My daughter does not NEED tutoring. She knows her math facts and understands the material just fine, if anything she is advanced in math - she's just got slow processing. Rote memorization is not required for math fact fluency, and speed drills are not an effective way to teach - math anxiety actually *worsens* working memory, processing, and problem solving. [/quote] So what outcome are you seeking? To make her eliminate math drills completely for the whole class or to excuse your child from the math drills?[/quote] I would love it if she eliminated them or at least made them ungraded or optional for everyone, but I recognize that's unlikely. Barring that, yes I guess excusing her from them would help. [/quote]
