We began our session with a mixed review. The mixed review showed that Max is doing wonderfully with comparing numbers in the hundreds, ones and tens. He is also successfully ordering numbers up to the hundreds! Max is still working on fluently subtracting numbers, conceptually understanding place value and identifying and completing patterns (based on homework). Today we spent a lot of time on determining and completing patterns. With continued and consistent practice I am sure he will begin to grasp the concept. We also continued to practice making numbers (based on homework) using 3 out of 5 digits. This seemed to come easier to Max today. He did not seem as overwhelmed as he did when we began on Tuesday. I am really trying to teach him to break challenging problems into smaller parts and to identify what he can do to solve the problem rather than focusing on what he feels he cannot do. Max and I played a few rounds of his favorite game, Make-10 Go-Fish and then we continued to work on his homework.
