[quote=Anonymous]I'm willing to help, but there's also no textbooks and no exemplars. I know how to add and subtract. But then we get a worksheet home that says "using the stick method, solve the following problems". My kid is totally confused, and I can't help I can show him how to actually do the math (stack and carry/borrow if necessary), but the he says , no that's not how you do it and starts drawing sticks and circles all over the place. This is all fine, but he's entering third grade and still has to compute the most basic problems and can't actually get the right answer. And then there are the things that expect four trips to Michaels to finish the assignment. Um, no. [/quote]
