Madoosa- I just got the Life of Fred books and I think I am going to have both kids play TimezAttack and read LoF and just back off on the other math stuff. Make it fun again. They only have another month of summer after all.

I was thinking about hiring this tutor my friend is using, but when I spoke to her kid yesterday (who has made major improvement due to the tutoring) he basically said he still hated math. The tutor seems to be a traditional tutor, gives homework etc.

I talked it over with DH and we both said we'd rather have kids that liked math so we are going to back it up and try to get the fun part back into it.
