Tutoring Tuesdays - March 19th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! In 2 more days, I will be the big 40 years old!!! Before, I get to tutoring, I am doing a very special deal for my birthday and beyond!

My sweet little Shih Tzu wound up at the Animal Hospital after making continuous noises a week ago last Friday. She wound up passing away twice as they were doing xrays and they brought her back to life twice with CPR. She wound up needing oxygen and has been there quite a bit since then. She is home with me now! I have created a Go Fund Me page to help with these crazy vet bills. If you would like to donate, I will send you TRIPLE that amount in teaching resources. All you have to do is email me at tigermagic@bellsouth.net the products you want and I will get them to you in 24 hours or less. Usually quite quickly unless I'm sleeping! So if you donate $5, you'll get $15 worth of things in my store! $10 you'd get $50! $1, you'd get $3! This is far better deal than any site wide sale and you'll be helping me with my dog! Click the picture to check out my Go Fund Me, see the vet bills, and read the updates! If you can't donate, please share with your pet and animal friends! This is why the past two weeks I've posted covers, rather than in action, but I may change them out when I have time.

We started tutoring working on equivalent fractions using my Equivalent Fractions Task Cards! There are 24 cards, a recording sheet, and a sample answer key (there are too many possible answers). These are in black and white. She did a great job!

We finished tutoring working on more 4 digit by 2 digit long division task cards using my 2 Digit Long Division St. Patrick's Day Bugs Task Cards. These come in color and black and white and includes a recording sheet and answer key! She had some difficulty mostly with putting the numbers on top after figuring out how many. We will keep working on this one. She will get it! She's only in 3rd grade yet doing 5th grade math!

Tutoring Tuesdays - March 12th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! In about a week it will finally be spring! I hope those of you on daylight saving time are enjoying the extra daylight! This week I am just showing cover pages due to time.

Last week in tutoring, I helped the 3rd grader first with practicing multiplying 3 digits by 2 digits using my Sloths 3 Digits by 2 Digits Multiplication Task Cards. Yes, 3rd grade can you believe that? She did a pretty good job with it. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white, a recording sheet, and an answer key!

Next we worked a little more on equivalent fractions using my Clip It Equivalent Fractions. She did a little better than the previous week. She seemed to be starting to grasp how to find an equivalent fraction. I will keep working with her on this skill. There are 24 task cards in black and white, a recording sheet, and answer key.

We finished tutoring working on 2 digit long division using my Flamingos 2 Digit Long Division Task Cards. She had to divide 4 digits by 2 digits. She also checked her answers with multiplication. She did much better multiplying this time and did excellent dividing. She said she wasn't sure how to add the remainders so I showed her that and then she did terrific! These also come with 24 task cards in color and black and white. A recording sheet and answer key are also included.

Tutoring Tuesdays - March 5th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! I didn't tutor a couple of weeks ago due to the child having cheerleading clinic at her school. So I was back to tutoring last Wednesday. Wait until you see what she was learning in the 3rd grade!

When I got there she first showed me what she was just taught and that was long division dividing 4 digits by 2 digits. Example 6045\20. I can't type the long division on here, but you get the picture. That's a 5th grade skill. 

Well, I worked with her on a 6th grade skill. She was learning the mean of 3 digit and 5 digit numbers in school. They simply call it averaging, but it is the same thing. It is amazing to me how much advanced they are in private school than in public school. She doesn't do the Common Core craziness so I think it makes it easier for her. We worked on my Finding the Mean Task Cards. In the example, you see I wrote average on each card. The same set of cards with the word mean are also included! She miss added on a couple, but her long division was fantastic!

Next we worked on equivalent fractions using my Clip It Equivalent Fractions. She struggled some on that and part of the reason is that she was never taught how to reduce fractions so I plan to keep working with her on that. There are 24 task card, a recording sheet, and answer key.
