My DD8, is going into 4th grade Math. The school will use Saxon Math for the first time. Last year, she did not get her multiplication down very well. She did get an A in Math. I made a plan with her to practice multiplication this summer. She didn't do it. I offered a library Math class. She won't do it.(She has gotten a bit less agreeable this year with me.) We have about 4 weeks left and somehow she needs to do this.
She will not do the computer games. I ordered some Multiplication books, music and video from the library. I also found a Math dice game. So I'm getting ready if she wants another approach.
What I need is a motivational talk with her. Any ideas? My kids never go for prize incentives. I need her to want to do this with out feeling my pressure. She keeps saying she will do this but then does not do it. We have talked about making it a regular time but she doesn't want that.
