Books I read .... (1)

Today I completed "Are your Lights on?" by Donald C.Gause and Gerald M.Weinberg
If someone wants to figure out "What the problem really is" this is a good read.

Teaching/Helping Grade 3 Math

I spent an hour teaching Saxon Math (Mathematics) for my third grade daughter. I like this scripted Mathematics course, because it gives a structured and systematic approach to impart Math concepts. The success of this Program I believe is slow and steady progress. Don't speeden up the lessons. I am not a teacher by profession, but I leave my comment as a parent. I am following this Math course to supplement her School curriculum since 1st grade.

I do teach Math for my older daughter in 7th grade, She started 4th grade in US. I found it difficult to get her into this Saxon approach. She is better with our conventional unstructured method.

Lessons I learnt, Match a teaching method to a student, don't force a student a method. It is only my opinion.

Let me start ....
