Hey Mia - graph paper sounds completely OK to me. Well done on your turn-around story. What great progress! Have you tried the murderous maths series? We're reading one at the moment called Arithmetrics. It's got some really, super cool maths tricks presented in stories, cartoons, jokes, etc. that have really helped Miss 7. For multiplication, she loved the one where - if she gets stuck on 4 x 7 for example, you draw 4 lines horizontally and then 7 lines vertically and you add up all the spots where the lines intersect/cross. And this gives you the answer. The teacher let her show this to the class during maths yesterday and she was so excited!!!
