Ep85: To My Daddy from Your (not so)Little Girl

The message that every little girl wants to hear from her father: 1. Daddy, when we're apart, I miss you and I hope you miss me too. 2. Tell me I matter to you. 3. Tell me you're proud of me. Even when you think I know this, tell me anyway. 4. Re-affirm me that I'm worth it. 5. Daddy, be there for me.

Why Do Girls Struggle With Math? - Podcast 84

A www.door2math.com production. In this video I talk about my experience with girls and math struggle. Girls tend to memorize math facts which leads to math success in the lower grades but math problems after 6th grade. Critical thinking skills and figuring things out is the long term path to success and I talk about how word problems can be used to change the mindset.

Math Milestones Before 6th Grade - Podcast 83

A www.door2math.com production. When we look at the math topics that need to be mastered by our 6th graders, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged - there are many different math topics and it’s difficult to tell which ones are essential and need to be mastered so our kids can continue to be successful with math after 6th grade. From working over 400+ families and with dozens of different types of math curricula, I believe all that clutter taught to our kids in this age group can be simplified to just four essentials. The first milestone set is adding and subtracting. This is the most basic number operation and it’s just manipulating numbers, that’s it. The second milestone set is multiplication and division. We can think of multiplication as just a quick way to add and division as just a quick way to subtract. So if we lump these two together, we can call these arithmetics operations. The combination of decimals, percentages and fractions is the third big milestone.This skill set is very important as this is most of our daily math communication in society. This milestone I call a magic triangle. So if you can imagine there's a triangle and on the very tippy top let's say there’s a fraction, and on the lower left corner you see a fraction and on the lower right corner you see a decimal. If your child is able to go to each point of the triangle and convert from percentage to fraction to decimal then they’ve mastered this milestone. For example, let's say you have a one over eight, that's a fraction, right? In decimal form it’s 0.125 and in percentages it’s 12.5%. So if you take any one of the these and your child is able to convert to the other two, that’s a good sign. And after that is this concept called the LCM or the least common multiple. The reason that this one is so important is that's it’s the foundation for adding and subtracting fractions and lays the foundation for algebra, geometry and beyond. Learning the LCM operations also trains the mind in critical thinking skills. Unfortunately this is where we lose so many kids in math because the ones that got away with memorizing before won’t be able to successfully complete this milestone.

Podcast 79 - Honor Your Childs Ideas

When it comes to math, or other topics that can be complex, a student may want to try things her way rather than the “right” way. For us parents, we have a natural tendency to stop our child right away and show her the “correct” way. In this podcast we discuss why it’s important to let the student try the problem her way and see where she’s right and wrong to help her develop critical thinking skills and to honor her ideas.

What To Do When Your Child Despairs Of Math - Podcast 67

When a child comes home with a negative statement about math (I suck at math), we as parents often freeze because we may have had the same feelings when we were kids. In this podcast, we introduce the THINK process to work through math anxiety with your child. THINK stands for: Is it TRUE? Is he/she HONEST? Get INSIDE his/her reality. Have new INTERPRETATIONS. KEEP the most powerful interpretation.
