Tutoring Tips Remember the Word Problems, located in the lower right section of the lesson plans. They help to review important prior concepts and reinforce students’ ability to apply the math. Goals. Does your student know what he/she is practicing? Ask and find out. If your student believes he/she is practicing “connecting cubes” or “hiding game,” he/she needs a review of the concept goals. Your students can take ownership of their learning once they identify the math skills they are trying to learn. Just like for the rest of us, knowing the target helps students meet it. (Check the title of the notebook and all of the goals on the cover page to make sure your student is grasping the concept.) Hold students to high expectations by helping them use complete sentences when answering questions. This is invaluable for language development, student confidence in class, and our ability to discern their understanding of the math. Continue to encourage hard work and perseverance. Learning requires willingness to work hard as concepts get difficult, so praise students when they persevere in the face of a challenge. Keep having fun! Your students are so happy to see you each week.
