Math Word Problems

A lot of learners have problems with math word problems. It is a case of being overwhelmed with information I think. Anyhow here are a few sites to help out.

Prime Numbers and Requests

If you need to teach a particular skill and are not sure how to do it, please contact me and I will look for some ideas.

Someone needed to teach a bit about prime numbers and so I found this game. Please don't hesitate to ask for help.

We Are Back

It is nearly fall and I am back in the job. I hope all of you had a lovely summer break as did I.

I am going to start contacting you to see what you are up to in terms of what you want to offer for tutoring this year.

So if you could think for a moment about:

1) your availability
2) anything different you might want to do
3) any upgrading you think might be helpful
4) anything else you can think of to chat about

that would be just great.
Thank you all for being the lifeblood of this program. Without you it would be, well, I can't even imagine..... would I have to do all the tutoring. Oh goodness.... well, anyhow, just welcome back.
