[quote=Anonymous]Definitely sit with him. First go over his planner and help him decide the order of subjects to study. I recommend math first as it tends to use a ton of “brainpower”. Then maybe alternate an easier subject with a harder one. For my kid, it would be something like,

Math 
Reading novel for English
Science lab report
Social studies mapping
Spanish sheet and study vocab for test

Then have him take out his math. Look over the problems and figure out how long it “should” take. Let him solve the first problem with him beside you. Once you’re sure he knows what to do, have him work on the rest of the math. You should stay in the room and keep an eye on him so he stays on track. (I often clean the refrigerator, haha). After he’s done with math, let him take a 10 minute wiggle break and it’s on to the next thing. Repeat with each subject, helping him get started and staying nearby for encouragement, support, or helping him get back on track.

6th graders are mush brains. They all are. My kid had apparently never, ever seen a fraction in his life until last night’s homework. Sigh. [/quote]
