Charlie’s teacher has asked us to help him with his math. The next five weeks they will be working on Multiplication and Division. Charlie has been getting confused when working on both subjects. Charlie wants to add everything. In the evenings I have been working with Charlie by finding worksheets online that we can use to go over the problems. I haven’t printed anything out as of yet but I know I am going to need to soon.
Or I will need to purchase some workbooks if I can find the ones Charlie was using in school. I know I should have some books or at least I think I do with both multiplication and division inside them. David is supposed to look for me today as he is off. We all know men, and they don’t always do what you ask so I may have to spend the day looking for the books.
I would like to share with you one of the sites Charlie and I have been using for Math and it is IXL and you can do a certain number of problems each day for free.
