After last week's shallow dips into each subject, we decided to get down to business this week. We started with Math, as this is one of Jed's favourite & strongest subjects.
Jed chose to open the chapter all about Patterns, through Time4Learning.com today. He loves the videos and online games.
I just had to psyche him through the quizzes and exams. He was dawdling through them and avoided some of the others altogether, probably a carry-over from school.
I taught him to take each question slow, because there is no time pressure. I never made him feel bad about the wrong answers and we discussed them instead.
Soon, he was saying, "Yey, here comes another quiz" and proudly showing me his grades. He averaged 4/5 for the quiz and got 18/20 for the chapter quiz.
I dubbed him "Sir Pattern-Master", and told him to get dressed for ice cream as his reward.
In a delightful surprise, he decided to dress up in a (red-blue-red-blue) pattern!
Smart kid! He totally outdid himself!
