Handling Frustration
Peter has a short fuse when it comes to math. Definitely one of his triggers.We've been told many times that Peter's memorization of math facts needs improvements, but getting him to work with flashcards is a big challenge. I finally found a way!
Peter and I often drive in the car together, and we pull out one "hard" flashcard per trip. Memorizing one card feels manageable, and we can talk about all sorts of strategies for thinking of the answer to that particular math fact.
Over time, we've built up quite a deck of difficult math facts, and he's breezing through them quickly. Lots of high fives!
