TrixieB Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I just started using Calculadder with my dc. One of my dc is working on addition drills, but she also needs to work on multiplication. I thought about having her do an addition drill in the morning and a multiplication drill in the afternoon. Has anyone tried drilling two topics daily? How did this work for you?

homewithtrinity Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I tried this with my kids. My over-achiever enjoyed it. The other thought it was punishment. I had to let her do multiplication one day and addition the next. As she got better, she grew in confidence and enjoyed them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in NH Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 My dd loved this! She does not like addition or subtraction, but actually really enjoys multiplication and division. So, I would have her do some addition/subtraction and then she would get to do the 'fun" math.;) We would also do other math topics as well, like measurements, weights, geometry, patterns, telling time...it all came after the addition/subtraction drills. We did them directly after, sort of like a reward. But, what works for one child might not work for another! Generally this child just loves math! Hey, give it a try, if your child likes it, great, if not..stop. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
