Your math tips from the other night in chat have made a big difference. Changing the phrasing to 854"take away" 376 rather than "minus" has cleared it up. I also made the suggested step by step directions for subtraction regrouping and it has helped immensely. I also have notice that if he works the problems out orally while doign them he is more likely to catch a computation mistake. So much of the his angst com,es from thinking that he can't do something. Having the helps in place has shown him that he can do it which allieviates so much of his frustration right there. So thank you thank you! Heather

Your WELCOME!

It feels really good to put some of my old teaching stuff to practice. I am a teacher at heart and trade and it is a passion. I told someone last night that I teach special ed because there is nothing like the feeling of seeing a kid succeed in learning something when they couldn't do it before and knowing I helped.

Thanks for the update. I am so glad it helped.
