[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you should wait for middle school to work on your child's math. Some kids need a lot more help than others memorizing the times table, for instance. It sounds like you're worried your child wouldn't apply him or herself with a tutor? Have you talked to them about the possibility? Or is tutoring out because of budget/time commitments? We tried tutoring and had some fails and one that maybe helped some, but I don't know why you wouldn't turn there first? Are you saying that your kid doesn't understand word problems that need multiplication, or actual expressions with the times symbol in them? How is your child's numeracy? Like if you asked them to add 2+14, would they give you a number smaller than 14? Can they tell you that 421 is bigger than 395? What are their iReady percentiles?[/quote]
