Tutoring Tuesdays - May 21st, 2019

Happy Tuesday! The past couple of weeks, I didn't get to today as they were canceled, but I finally got to tutor last week. Sadly, it was my last tutoring session with this absolutely incredible third grader who I have tutored since the 3rd nine weeks of her Kindergarten year. The family made me feel like home. Her parents are absolutely incredible wonderful people. They told me if she gets stuck on a skill next school year they will give me a call to help her with that skill. The doctor told them it is best for her not to tutor weekly as then she will think she's not good at Math and it would hurt her confidence. 

On the last tutoring session we continued to work on long division with 2 digits by using my Camera 2 Digit Long Division Task Cards. She also checked it with multiplication. There are 24 task cards in color and black and white plus an answer key and recording sheet. She still made some careless mistakes, but she is very capable of doing this tough 5th grade skill.

 

 

 
I do not plan to take on any new tutoring students. I am on the hunt for an office job. I will come up with a new series of blog posts soon to showcase my resources!

Tutoring Tuesdays - May 1st, 2019

Happy Tuesday! Wow, it is already May! Time is flying by fast! Hang on teachers you'll be off for the summer soon, especially those of you who started in July and August!

Last year, I started working with the 3rd grader on factors using my Factors Task Cards. She found the factors and put them in order. She did quite a good job other than one of the higher numbers. I taught her if it is even you can always divide by 2. These come with 24 task cards in black and white only, a recording sheet, an answer key, and suggestions on using them. We played a game with them that you can see below. The game board does not come with these cards. In this game if you land on the rainbow poop you go back to start, but if you land on the unicorn you get to go again.

Next, we worked on more long division by 2 digits working on my Chicks 2 Digit Long Division Task Cards. We only got to do a couple as she had a hard time on the first problem due to focusing and making a lot of careless mistakes. I plan to keep working with her on this skill next week. She can absolutely do it as she flew through the 2nd problem pretty easily and I've seen her do it in the past! This is a 5th grade skill, this 3rd grader is doing! There are 24 task cards in color and black and white. It includes a recording sheet and answer key.

Tutoring Tuesdays - April 23rd, 2019

Happy Tuesday! It's been awhile since I've been able to tutor due to the last couple being canceled, but I finally got to tutor last Wednesday, the amazing 3rd grader! I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter!

Last week we continued working on 2 digit long division by 4 digit using my Easter 2 Digit Long Division With Remainders Task Cards. She did a great job on the division with some careless mistakes on the multiplication to check it. I see a lot of her in me as I made all kinds of careless mistakes in elementary school. Part of that was due to me going too fast. She doesn't fly through the work the way that I used to, thankfully! There are 24 task cards in color and black and white. I have included a recording sheet and answer key. If children write small enough they can write on the cards if laminated or put in plastic sleeves. Otherwise, use a white board for fun!

She understands the steps well. I am going to continue working on this with her next week as she does make some careless mistakes from time to time. There are 24 cards in color and black and white. I have also included a recording sheet and answer key!

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.

Tutoring Tuesdays - February 5th, 2019

Happy Tuesday! Wow, already February! I hope your month is off to a great start. Welcome back to teaching to those in the southern hemisphere. I hope your year is off to a great start!

We started tutoring with fractions of a whole number with a denominator of 5 through 9 using my Fractions of a Whole Number Task Cards. This resource now contains 48 task cards with denominators of 2 through 9! There are 2 recording sheets and answer keys.

Next we worked on adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Yes she is a 3rd grader! We used my Adding and Subtracting Fractions Task Cards. There are 24 task cards in color only, but they easily print in grey scale as you can see below. I have included a recording sheet and answer key.

We finished tutoring doing a few problems on converting and adding or subtracting cups and pints where she had to change the cups to pints or the pints to cups. We used my Adding and Subtracting Cups and Pints Task Cards. I will admit it yes right here on my blog that I am human and I had the conversions mixed up. She drew a diagram to prove to me she was correct! I realized I had switched them and it showed me that she truly knew understood the skill since she was able to teach me! I was so proud of her. The answer key has been corrected as I had 2 proofreaders so no worries there. There is a recording sheet and answer key.
