wow did I learn something new here. I asked my DD6 how she would practice her math if she didn't do flash cards? Did she want to do a computer disk during the day?
She said, No let's do dominoes. She made up a game. We take turns getting a domino and the other person say plus or minus. Then do the Math problem. She was sliding over dots in her mind and working with 5s. She said this was more fun than Math Facts. Amazing she figured out some Mental Math.
This is a big lesson. If an ambitious Child is fussing over learning something it may not just be a lack of cooperation. I now know it's a good idea to try to get them to express how they feel and gain a understanding rather than be mad they are not behaving. Kids are amazing to teach us these things.
