kids beach table 2 in 1 image
- _ -
I am trying my ALL to try to get an 8th grader learn multiplication and fractions and it's not enough. He is placed in my weekend class along with 7 other students. The instructor emailed me and told me that he needed to work on order of operations, fractions and decimals/percentages for his Pre-Algebra class. This is the third week and he hasn't improved. He currently has an F in his class and the school wants him to be on track to graduate with a C. He is currently the slowest in the remedial math class I'm teaching and I was told not to slow down the pace. The other kids are picking up a lot faster and can now add and multiply fractions, but he has troubles multiplying and dividing with positive integers.
These are the issues that he is having and I was wondering if anyone knows a way to get around it and/or have similar experiences:
- He doesn't have a working memory of the multiplication table. For example, he guesses answers to problems like 6 x 3
- He does not recognize the commutative property for multiplication. (i.e. 6x3 = 3x6)
- Doesn't understand the concept of a least common multiple and cannot do the factor trees
- Cannot multiply two digit numbers
- He has an extremely difficult time solving a problem like this :
2/3 + 1/2
- He has an extremely difficult time converting 2 1/2 into 5/2
- Gets confused when he sees letters instead of numbers
Answer
Hi,
There are different levels and abilities of each child. It's hard to say since every child learns differently.
For example, you could bring rocks by a stream or shells at the beach. Have him line them up, count them, and place them in order from largest to smallest. Divide them into two different groups. Which group has more than the other? Which has fewer? Likewise, have her count the apple slices on her plate. After he eats two, have him count the remaining slices of apples. How many are left? That's how I learned.
My parents made me count everything. I had to count how much cereal was in my bowl before I ate it. I had to calculate the total price whenever I had bought food or items from the store. The easiest way to do that was to reduce. Have you ever tried solving math problems by reducing?
Talk to his parents. The parents plays an important role in this child's education since they are apart of his life. Set up a meeting, and discuss his needs and how they can be attempted to be met throughout his education. Set up another IEP meeting to re-advise the goals that are set up on there. What educational model or services does he benefit from? Service delivery details shall be provided, such as when services and modifications will begin, how often they are be provided, where they will be provided, and how long they will last. Present levels shall always be measured towards success in the further future. Good luck with everything! I wish you the best. :)

Answer
I did a beach themed for my oldest boy...he turned 3 and he had so much fun.
Here is what I did;
1. I had a palm tree pinata
2. I had a table cloth that was a beach themed table cloth
3. I had shrimp, fish and crab for fun :) we also had chips and stuff
4. we had blue gatorade (like the ocean) and water...plus pop
5. we put sand in our front yard...we just put a tarp down and bought some sand and layed it down on top of the tarp...easy clean up and fun for all ages
6. we let a sprinkler go for the kids
7. we had beach lawn chairs for the adults
8. beach balls, shovels, buckets and other beach toys were involved
9. His cake was blue and had a beach theme on it. :) cute
10. We also had a volleyball net..that is optional. :)
I would really try to do the sand idea because that was so much fun and we all had a complete blast. :) I think he had fun because everyone else was having fun too. :)
All of the themes were cool but I could relate to this one. :)
good luck and have fun. :)
