8th grade ADHD student

An 8th grade ADHD student had his final home work assignments today. Next Tuesday, he was supposed to have a test on surface area and volume but his teacher “surprised” everyone by giving it to them today!?! That change is simply not fair to the students, as even her internet page states the test will be Tuesday.

Not All Games Are Created Equal

Not All Games Are Created Equal

Lisa Nielsen - a former New York City public schools teacher and author of Teaching Generation Text writes that "at their most basic level video games are similar to books." Like books, vdieo games can be anything: "trashy novels, historical fiction, non-fiction, classic literature" - each type offering varying contributions for learning.

The Cause of Autism

To test a common theory about the cause of autism, researchers recently studied how kids with autism process moving images. They found that the kids saw simple movements twice as fast as their typically developing peers.

About Math Methods Wiz

About Math Methods Wiz

From age 10 forward throughout high school and college, I continued freely tutoring math students and made a big impact on those students’ math abilities. I never tutored just on that one problem, or test, they had needed help with; rather, I assisted their overall understanding of how math concepts worked together. Over and over, I kept being called a “Math Wiz” from people who did not know each other.

At age 16, I had won a Math scholarship to college. And at age 20, I began teaching math.

In my book, Rescue Your Math Student Now, I referred to myself as a “Math Methods Wiz.” Unbeknown to all the students (I had tutored) and all my teachers was the fact: the “Math Wiz” part was because I made math easy to learn. The “Methods” terminology is there because of how closely I observed every math teacher, every minute of every day. My desire, since age 10, was to make use of every positive “Method” (each highly effective teacher employed) to help others to learn as simply as possible. Rene Descartes also noted: “Divide a difficulty into so many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.” I wanted those I taught and tutored to appreciate math for the power it gives their lives. We all use math every day and it still must be precisely correct. A note from Thales: “The primary question was not what we know, but how do we know it.” That in a nut shell was my study: to find the How’s.

Besides my love of teaching math, I have been extremely successful in the business world! I have been listed in Marquis’ Who’s Who in the South and Southeast, along with 100′s of: awards, honors,
recognitions and trips won. (Side Note: all these other successes were directly related to my devotion to be really good at math; for those same characteristics are adaptable to any other endeavor.) I have been fortunate enough to be ranked at the top of five national companies, through hard work and dedication. Between those business ventures, I continued to return to my love of math teaching and helping others obtain a sparkle in their eyes – because they had finally grasped math. Recall: I never wanted my math assistance to be a one shot fix for anyone. My goal has always been to help students become “confident in their own ability” to go forth, knowing they can master math.

Years ago, I had many friends surprise me with a party! After a short presentation speech: thanking me for what I had done for this group, they gave me a small book. The Go-Getter by Peter B. Kyne
was this jewel, about things I had always strived to do for others. You might just enjoy reading this too.

I sincerely hope your child will become the “REAL WINNER” from me sharing my experiences in “Rescue Your Math Student Now“. I trust you will take these examples to lead your child in the direction of a successful life. As for teachers reading this book, my ambition for you is you have found bits and pieces to make you the best teacher you can possibly be, which will hopefully multiply your love of teaching. And for that one SPECIAL STATE SUPERINTENDENT, I beg you to PLEASE launch the suggestions I put forth that WILL TRANSFIGURE AMERICA’S SCHOOLS back to prominence.

A 7th grade ADHD Pre-Algebra student

A 7th grade ADHD Pre-Algebra student came to tutoring a little down. Upon questioning, he stated that someone had been bullying him this week. I told him to have a private conference with the guidance counselor. He had to complete a few exercises in Study Island. Then we spent the remaining time working problems from an old state End of Grade test. He did well on these equation problems.

A 9th grade Algebra

A 9th grade Algebra I home-schooled student has finished her school year but she may have to take a math placement test for an Early College school for next year. Her Mom had printed numerous problems off an internet site which we completed. Also, we worked on problems from an old state End of Course Algebra I test.
