To engage and sustain Nicholas's attention, while completing today's math homework assignment, some additional creative techniques were employed during our session. As Nicholas appears to struggle with the computation of addition and subtraction facts and one-on-one correspondence, this tutor represented addition and subtraction using objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), actions, verbal explanations, and expressions. This appeared to facilitate his comprehension and additionally satisfactorily re-focused him from the disappointment he expressed upon learning he did not have music today as his mother had told him. Nicholas completed his math homework, with prompts; however, he was greatly assisted by a number line that we utilized to help him derive the answers to the addition and subtraction problems with which he was tasked. It took a while to demonstrate what he needed to do when given a problem, but it appeared that the number line greatly enabled his understanding and expedited performance. We ended the session using a deck of cards to match numbers and to perform some rudimentary arithmetic skills in an engaging and fun way that appeared to reduce some of the frustration that Nicholas occasionally exhibits when tasked with problems.
