[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you all for this perspective. Now I have a question about motivation. I offered to do flash cards with her or drills or something else but she always resists saying she's tired or wants to do something else. Any tips for getting her motivated to try some of these things?[/qyuote] Try using m&ms as manipulatives. 2 piles of 4 m&ms equals 8 to eat! Really, use objects to teach math. Pennies, craft jewels, buttons, candy, pebbles, whatever is interesting. Gives the true meaning of multiplication with vusual and tactile input. It will all of a sudden make sense. Should not just be rote memory, of course it can be but much better if a person actually understands what 7x6 actually means. [/quote]
