[quote=Anonymous]I'm not undercutting anything that's been said here. But I also find that one helpful tactic is to move away from the "test" concept. It's not like anything hinges on this "test", right? (E.g. Placement). I'd tell my kid that it's just a minute set aside in the day to practice math facts and there's no pressure to do any particular amount, and you don't care at all how many he does. If the teacher is goading then on or awarding prizes for speed, that's s bigger problem in my mind. It may just be that the teacher doesn't want them to spend too long practicing addition, but just wants them to do a few problems every day, so has set aside a minute or two to do that as a transition. My kid gets very worked up about stuff that is meaningless (like her teacher marking her tardy when the bus is late) and I just keep repeating that I don't care about that, and she doesn't need to either.[/quote]
