He’s had some experience helping me with baking, but hasn’t ever done it on his own. My son recently wanted to make a double batch of cookies to share with our neighbors.
Learning With Flashcards Is Like Baking Without Any Experience They start with the abstract instead of building up to it. My eyes darted over to the parent that asked the question, her face said it all.
I shifted from leaning against the bookcase and cringed a little as I listened to her suggestions: Someone blurted out the obvious question, “What can we do to help them with memorizing their math facts?” Without the ability to recall math facts quickly, your child will have a tough time making room for new information. They are the very foundation for all mathematical learning. This teacher knows that getting math facts solidified in your head is like learning your alphabet letters. More than half of her students have NOT mastered their math facts.
Next, she mentioned a common problem most middle school teachers face, math fact memorization. “Where are the textbooks? Why doesn’t anyone use textbooks anymore?” Hands shot up into the air with rapid fire questions about their struggling child. As I scanned the room, I could see looks of concern on parent’s faces as they squirmed in their seat waiting for her to pause for questions. In the seventh grade classroom, parents filled every seat and stood along the walls too as I listened to my son’s teacher explain classroom policies.
