Hi.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an online program that would be suitable for practising and teaching the basics of Maths which needs little or no input from an adult?
A little background information - I have been tutoring a 12 year old dyslexic girl for around 5 months. She isn’t secure in her basic number facts and, when I began working with her she guessed any addition and subtraction with no idea of whether it was likely, etc. At school, she is ‘working‘ her way through a year 7 text book and getting 16% in end of year exams. Although her father has spoken to the school about the situation, they are not in a situation to do anything and seem unsure how to help her.
Her father clearly wants to help her, does some number bonds games with her at home and recognises that she isn’t secure with them and is thinking about pulling her out of the Maths classes as she is learning nothing. He is very concerned that she is getting further and further behind and also worried that his daughter will not pass her GCSE and therefore unable to go to university in the future, etc.
I have been providing 30 minutes of tuition a week but we are going to increase this to an hour from next week but it is still not enough without other support/intervention.
This is why he is looking for additional support for something that his daughter could do which would help her with her understanding. If anyone does have any ideas/recommendations, etc that I could pass on, that would be great.
Thank you!
