What is the best way to teach Maths to a 10-year-old girl with little motivation and a short attention span?

We Answered:

The biggest block people (and not just kids) have with maths is how it is relevant to their needs and uses... how many times do people say "oh yeah, why learn algebra, or venn diagrams, when will I ever use them?".

If the teacher can give a circumstance that relates to the pupils in question it can engage their attention.

For example with the boys... she can start off say "what was the score at the Chelsea match? Who scored the most goals, made free kicks... what was the percentage.."

with girls, a more relevant topic... how many songs has Pink had in the charts... how does that compare to say, McFly?

Who spent the most time sending texts...

This is probably stuff your girlfriend already knows, using a subject matter that lies in the realms of the pupils interest.

It may be that the child in question has issues or difficulties... is she sitting at the back of the class... can she see the board or is she short sighted and doesn't want to admit it... is she perhaps dyslexic...or having problems at home?

Children can be very complex based on a simple problem.

Good luck !

i really wna be a teaching assistant but i havent got maths i have already gt level 2 childcare and i am doing?

We Answered:

If you came to me with maths I would not employ you because the level of your English is appalling. You have a spell checker yet have not used it.

Go and learn some English and Maths first and other subjects then come back.

You must start at the bottom of the ladder and work your way up, sorry but it is true. Email me if you want to know how and where to start, I am happy to help you
