Well here's the problem. I am a tutor irl, right now I'm tutoring a 4th grader who got held back to do do 3rd grade level math, because she was doing so badly. She is not mathematically challenged, she is just not focused enough to understand. Her mind wanders a lot. I've met with her for 3 weeks now (1 hour per week) and I feel like I'm not making any progress. She doesn't remember anything we went over the week before, she hardly remembers things I told her a minute ago. Here's my question to you guys. How do I keep her interest long enough to teach her something? How do I make math fun and interesting for an overactive 4th grader.
Anyway I need reasonable method of teaching. Something maybe I can use for a verity of subjects (including, but not limited to: multiplication and division of large numbers, identifying angles and shapes, rounding numbers, using order of operations to solve equations, etc.). Something that a wondering mind can latch on to. Anyway this is important, because I don't want to give up on her, but I feel like I may have to. Help?
Thanks heart
