Re: March 11: Dr. Kurt Jensen & Young Adults w/ AS

[Guest guest]

Greetings All:

Any math teachers in our group?

My daughter Tyra is having a lot of trouble in her sixth grade math class and cannot keep up with the rest of the class because she lacks the basic foundations. However, the school is willing to do intervention going back to probably 4th grade to help my daughter get back on track starting with fractions, adding, subtracting, multiplying, etc. Is there anyone out there who can give me a draft of strategy of math lessons to get my daughter started because she lacks the basics before she can even go into advanced fractions or even pre-algebra. The school does not seem to have a plan of action for math curriculum, however I would like to propose one to them if I could get help from someone whom is familiar with 4th and 5th grade math concepts and procedure.

Any consideration given would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening. Should you have questions, please feel free to call my cell 216.650.2602.
