Much better

yendiElayna's math homework tonight (with some more complex 1X3 digit multiplication) was much better (although she was much whinier about doing it). Only four mistakes out of thirty, making for a solid B+ effort. Far from perfect, but vastly better than before. Here's hoping the other night was an aberration.

Our principle gave us a wonderful idea for all the kids, and any issues they might have. Make it fun. Do not just write out a bunch of problems and have the child work on it. Make it into a game, or a puzzle, or a treat (even edible ways to do this) and they will have much better success.
Good luck!!!
