Ayden did a great job today in math. He began Topic 3-Multiplication Meanings and Facts. We discussed vocabulary words such as array, product, factors, multiples, and breaking apart. Ayden is able to recognize multiplication as repeated addition of equal groups, used in arrays and comparisons. Ayden drew several examples on the dry erase board demonstrating these ideas. He practiced breaking apart arrays, also. Ayden should continue to pracitce his 3X table facts. Fast ForWord is helping to improve Ayden's language comprehension. He demonstrated his knowledge today by matching words to their correct synonym (ex: seize and take). Ayden is simultaneously learning new vocabulary through repetition, in this program. Brain games such as Twisted Pictures help improve his reading comprehension and logical reasoning. He is required to read four sentences and then match the correct sentence to the correct picture. The sentences become increasingly difficult as he chooses the correct answers. Each day, it is my pleasure to watch Ayden succeed and become more confident.
