A rising 10th grade home-schooled Algebra II
student spent our hour reviewing a newer Algebra I state End of Course
test. He needs to stay fresh on the skills he gained in Algebra I this
past year, despite making an “A”. Need Help? Do you want tips, buy my

S.A.T.
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
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 4th Grade Math Student
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

REAL WINNER
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.#Math

Global Math Rank
The 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? #Mathhttp://www.mathmethodswiz.com/more-about-the-book/
