A rising 8th grade math student, who is changing from a private school
to a charter school, was here for his third lesson. We continued
working on an old state End of Grade test by doing the sections on
Measurement and Geometry. He was excellent on his math skills.
A rising ADHD 8th grade math student arrived early for her session. We
continued reviewing problems on several old state End of Grade tests.
She was excellent on these problems by having all worked correctly.
10th grade home-schooled, who will take
Algebra II this year, came to tutoring for extra review of Algebra I.
We continued our work on a lengthy old state End of Course test for
Algebra I. He has been doing great on this by recalling much of his
learning from last year.
A
rising 6th grade math student worked on the first of his grade level’s
workbook. We did some addition of five multi-digit problems with some
having decimals and some dollars. We did subtraction practice where
borrowing was needed. And we did multiplication samples with one digit
time’s five digits, two digits time’s two digits and three digits time’s
three digits. We also worked on word problems for each of the above
problem types.
A
rising 10th grade home-schooled Algebra II student came for his tutoring
lesson. We spent our time today continuing our review of old state End
of Course Algebra I tests since his text book for Algebra I was a poor
one. He did excellent work today.
A rising 8th grader, who is
changing schools from a private system to a charter school, was here for
his first real tutoring session. We began by working problems on an
old state End of Grade test since he had never taken one and he would
have something similar this year. He was able to work all problems
correctly.
As a teacher, I emulated the great teaching
role models that I viewed from my perspective as a top-notch math
scholar. Questions (below) for which you will receive answers are from
my personal case studies. This guide may be your “missing link” to greatness for your students!
• What is going on in your child’s math class?
• What can you do to improve your child’s math skills?
• ADD and ADHD case studies – what to do, and what not to do?
• How do you learn to study math?
• How can your child gain confidence in math?
• How to know when you have an ineffective teacher?
• States: do you want results, then test the teachers not the students?
• Is your child worth your involvement in the school?
• Will the new standards program be a game changer?
• Why is the U. S. only #27 in math ranking in the world?
• Is there a State Superintendent who is ready to revolutionize our schools?

A ADHD 8th grader comes each week during the
summer despite achieving all A’s this past school year. Her parents
know the constant “focus” is changing her overall outlook on school
work. She was excited to tell she was going to a STEM camp
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) at a local community
college, where I used to teach. She started with me two years ago, with
her math grade in the C-/D+ range at that time. We also worked on some
old state End of Grade test problems, which she had, all of them
correct. Parents: These old state test are super study guides, as all
problems are different types of word problems. Thus each problem
presents a new challenge, requiring the students to think creatively and
remember what that was taught during the school year and apply that
knowledge. #Math #Tutor #ADHD

A rising 8th grade math student and two rising
7th grade math students each arrived for their tutoring sessions. With
each of these three, we focused on solving problems on old state End of
Grade type tests. These tests have a good variety of word problems,
which causes the students to reach back in their minds and think. Need

A rising 10th grade home-schooled student is
spending time solidifying his Algebra I knowledge by reviewing old state
End of Course tests. He did make an “A” in the same course this year
but the text book was weakly structured. This review
is forcing him to think and it will greatly help him as he moves into
Algebra II. Parents: Some school systems send students from Algebra I
to geometry (this is what is needed for S. A. T. prep). Others have
changed their progression and now have Algebra I right before Algebra II
– their students will be affected adversely by this move.

9th
grader, who took Pre-Algebra this past year, is trying to gain credit
for Algebra I (this summer) by studying the booklets provided by his
private school. Today, I talked with him as he seems to only be reading
material at home and not working any problems. I reminded him that he
is attempting to do what few students attempt, thus he has to put in an
exceptional effort by doing all the problems that the regular students
would be required to work out. Today we were on Chapter 4, with this
being just his 2nd session.
A rising 4th grade math student arrived for
tutoring 30 minutes late, as the Mom had over slept (the scheduled time
was 11 A. M.). Although the Mom does not admit her daughter has some
ADD or ADHD, all the symptoms are present. When I find
a student interrupting my teaching, I stop and ask: “Who do you think
is better prepared to help the other person – you help me or I help you?
This does cause the student to think about her rude interruption. I
mention how my job is: to help her to easily understand math; to teach
her any concepts she has had trouble solving; and to allow her to
shorten how long she will have to spend on her nightly home work
assignments in the fall. Total attention is present after that
“lecture”. Today, we spent her time going through problems on old state
End of Grade tests. She did rather well. Only on Venn Diagrams did
she say that she had not been taught that. So I indicated that she
going to understand it now and in the future, as it was easy. Need

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.

T
he U. S. has dropped to the #27 ranking
globally in math; with science and reading also in double digits
worldwide and all three are falling. To apply, begin using the
innovative strategies set forth in this book. We do not want the cutthroat
competition some countries presently have in place. America needs a
positive, dynamic leader who is not afraid to step forward nationally to
reinstate our students back towards #1. You will be recognized as a
modern day Horace Man. Are you that leader? #Math

Two 9th grade Algebra I home-schooled
students, who have finished their years and each recorded an “A”, came
for tutoring. Their algebra book was not very strong, so we did
reviewing of problems from old state End of Course tests. Each student did learn a few more concepts and re-enforced others.
Teachers: This book is full of tremendous teaching methods to help you
become a better teacher. From numerous examples, you will see this book
is a valuable resource in proper math teaching techniques, to help you
REACH EVERY CHILD!!! You may question that; however, in all my years of
teaching NO CHILD I taught ever failed math in my class. You will see
many pitfalls that entrap teachers, who become labeled as poor teachers.
You will learn to be predictable and maintain a structured teaching
routine, as opposed to “experimenting” with unproven educational
methods. Many discipline tactics are also presented.

A 7th grade ADHD Pre-Algebra student has not
had any new school worked! He stated that school was becoming boring.
We worked on some old state End of Grade tests involving algebra
problems, with some being word problems. He was excellent with these
questions.
A 9th grade home-schooled student, who has already earned an “A”
for her year-end grade, came for tutoring. Our goal for the next few
weeks is to strengthen her weak points. She will be changing to an
Early College program next fall and she may be required to take their
test on algebra proficiency.
An
8th grade home-schooled Algebra I student, who received an “A” for the
year arrived for tutoring today. He has a weakness in the basics, as he
had attended a low performing school for his first seven years. His
Mom (principal/teacher) has not decided which math course he will take
in the fall. I recommended he take geometry to help prepare him better
for the S. A. T. We spent our time solidifying his Algebra I by working
an old state End of Course test.
A 7th grade ADHD Pre-Algebra student, who
still is school, came for tutoring. His teacher has not taught any math
since their state End of Grade test on Wednesday last week. As a
matter of record, this class has had NO new curriculum instruction over
the past nine weeks (the entire grading period), as they have been
“teaching the test”!?!
