The ADHD and Math Connection

The ADHD and Math Connection Kids with ADHD often struggle with math. Difficulties with sustained attention, working memory (manipulating numbers in your head), organization and planning all interfere with math learning and performance. Starting from an early age, kids with ADHD struggle to memorize math facts and are prone to making errors on simple math problems (3-2=6). As they progress through school, they may struggle with word problems and more complex calculations by missing key details or having difficulty sequencing problem solving steps. As a result, its not uncommon for students with ADHD to be performing at least one year below grade level in math even when they dont have a specific learning disorder. This can be incredibly frustrating for parents and teachers, and the student themselves especially when they know that they are capable of doing better. The relatively recent introduction of Common Core math has added another layer of complexity for kids with ADHD. Unlike older models of math instruction, which focused on rote memorization of math facts and mastery of basic computational models, Common Core math emphasizes the teaching of problem solving strategies. Students are often required to solve a single math problem in multiple ways so they learn different strategies for obtaining the answer. They may also be required to explain their process and strategy in writing. While a solid argument can be made for the value of the Common Core problem solving approach over traditional memorization and computation, students with ADHD often find the process tedious, redundant, and lengthy three factors that severely tax their ability to stay on-task, focused, and motivated. Although math may not come easily to kids with ADHD, most can perform at grade level with modified instruction and additional support. Pushing kids with ADHD to reach their full potential in math is important! Studies show that students who complete higher levels of math in high school fair better in the job market and earn higher salaries. So, while it may be tempting to let your child slide in math and allow him or her to focus instead on subjects that come more easily, you will help your child in the long run if you provide the math support he or she needs now. Here are a few tips to help get your child on track and keep him or her going: Identify your childs math learning style. Is he or she a visual learner? Does he or she learn best by doing? Does he or she benefit from drawing or mapping out the process, or from having tangible items that can be manipulated? Do they need someone to verbally talk him or her through math logic and reasoning in a one-on-one or group setting? Then work with your childs teacher to put strategies into place that match your childs style. Have your child memorize basic math facts. Have your child overlearn these facts so he or she can recall them quickly and easily. This will help him or her work through math problems more quickly, more confidently, and with fewer errors. Its never too late to commit math facts to memory. So, if your child didnt master them in elementary school, help your child do it now. Kids with ADHD may find it easier to memorize math facts using an app, like Sushi Monster or Math Board. Help your child connect with math. Kids with ADHD find it easier to stay focused and motivated when they are interested in a subject. So, help make math interesting for your child! Math is essential to almost every aspect of our lives, including every sport, music, art, and technology-related interest that your child may have. Do search the web with your child to learn how math is important to the things he or she enjoys most. The University of Cambridge has some great online resources that really bring math to life. I especially love: Wild Maths, Plus Magazine, and the Math and Sport Millennium Mathematics Project. Get extra support. Some kids with ADHD simply need extra support at school or afterschool from a learning center or tutor. Request an assessment and extra support from your childs school if you think your child is not keeping up with his or her peers in math. If possible, find a learning center or tutor to provide extra support after school. Just make sure they have experience working with kids who have ADHD. With extra support, encouragement, and motivation kids with ADHD can succeed at math, and may even learn to love the subject along the way! ABOUT DR.

Babysitting vs. Nannying Jobs What to Expect

Babysitting vs. Nannying Jobs What to Expect Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/ducks-toys-baby-bottle-diapers-1426008/ If you are looking to make some extra money and love children, you should definitely look into babysitting. When thinking about the expectations of babysitting, it really depends on family-to-family, but you can gauge the expectations of babysitting using the following criteria: (1) number of children, (2) age of child/children, and (3) time of day in which you will babysit. If you are babysitting an infant and/or a toddler, you need to expect to run around a lot and stick to a very strict schedule when it comes to eating and naps. If you are babysitting kids between the ages of 1 and 6, you will be on your toes a lot and you will have to watch these kids like hawks. You will have to play with the kids and, if there is an infant, you will have to hold the infant and help the infant if he/she is crying. If you are babysitting kids 7 and older, you will still have to be vigilant, but not to the same extent as you would with younger children. You will still have to feed them and watch over them, but you won’t really have to worry about them putting small objects in their mouths. Let’s now talk about time of day. If you’re babysitting the kids in the morning and early afternoon, you will either have kids who sleep in, in which case your life is made a lot easier, or you’ll have kids who wake up early and will be rambunctious. You will need to make sure the kids have breakfast, a snack, and lunch. If you are looking after an infant, you will probably need to put them down for a nap. If you are babysitting from later afternoon into the evening, you will follow a similar schedule, but the evening will definitely be more relaxed and you will need to make sure that you get the kids ready for bed. If the kids are younger, expect to read them a story or two and be sure to check on them a few times. If you are babysitting an infant, consider rocking him/her to sleep and follow the parents’ directions on how to best get the baby to go to sleep. When I babysit infants, I check on them very regularly (just in case). Okay, you learned a lot about babysitting, but let’s talk about nannying. Nannying is a full-time job (it’s a career). Parents hire nannies to stay with their kids the majority of the day, if not all day/night. Your responsibilities are similar to babysitting, but you will be expected to be more mindful of the cleanliness of the house/apartment as well as the kids. You may have to drive kids to and from camp or school and take them to after-school activities. Babysitters aren’t usually expected to drive the kids they look after around to various activities, but sometimes you may have to pick up the kids from school or camp. Nannies are usually with a family from the early beginnings of kids’ lives until very late in the lives. Sometimes, nannies are also trained housekeepers, which definitely helps with making some more money. The more you do for a family, the more you will get paid. Nannies are paid much more than babysitters because they have much more responsibility and are usually with a family for a very long period of time, while babysitting is usually temporary. Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/girls-children-kids-friends-young-462072/ Well, there you have it. The differences between babysitting and nannying as well as the expectations. However, the expectations and payment truly vary from family to family, so be sure to sit down and talk to the family you’re working for so that there are as few surprises as possible when you are with their child (or children). I loved babysitting and highly recommend babysitting and/or nannying if you love child care.

Aspiring Architect Reminds Himself To Never Give Up

Aspiring Architect Reminds Himself To Never Give Up Aspiring Architect Reminds Himself To Never Give Up Rodean, 11-years-old, Math Level M, Reading Level III 11-year-old Rodean loves the game of basketball and looks to his favorite professional player for inspiration. Kyrie Irving, point guard for the Boston Celtics, set a precedent early in his career. Performance analysists often praise Irving for his exceptional ball handling skills and quick cross overs â€" proving he has a high level of focus in every game. It’s not just Irving’s superior athleticism he’s known for, it’s his commitment through any challenge. Irving’s current and former teammates say he is a leader, whether he’s in practice or playing in the NBA Finals â€" raising the morale of the team even through defeats. Looking up to his role model, Rodean is always determined to never give up, especially during challenging moments. During one of Rodean’s basketball games, his teammates wanted to give up when they were on the brink of a loss, but Rodean was not going to let his team down. “During this tough game, I noticed my teammates were on the verge of giving up,” said Rodean. “It was that very moment when I remembered what I was taught in Kumon â€" to never give up. I knew I couldn’t give up during this moment. I motivated my team and they followed suit, leading us to victory.” Rodean began his Kumon journey when he was only 7-years-old and has since transformed into a strong-willed student that can take on any challenge. Already studying above grade level, he has an academic edge over his peers. In the Kumon Math Program, he is further developing his algebraic skills working on the Pythagorean Theorem and multiplication of polynomials. Thanks to the Kumon Reading Program, he is reading more advanced novels and has strong comprehension skills. Rodean has analyzed high school-level literature such as Ray Bradbury’s notable dystopian novel, Fahrenheit 451 and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. Whether he’s solving a challenging quadratic equation or working on his layups in basketball â€" he is determined to always work through it. He often recalls his Kumon Instructor Virgil Raban  and his parents encouraging him saying, “never give up!” When Rodean is not dribbling up and down the court, he enjoys swimming, playing baseball, and skiing. As a budding musician, Rodean is disciplined in his practice, currently preparing the level 4 piano curriculum through the Royal Conservatory of Music. The Royal Conservatory of Music sets a national standard for young musicians, putting them on the path for musical excellence. The curriculums for each level include a range of advancing repertoire, techniques, musicianship, and music literacy â€" elements considered to lay down a successful foundation in musicians. Rodean’s hard work and discipline didn’t go unnoticed, as he was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Rodean about his Kumon journey. How has Kumon helped you academically? Kumon has helped me academically because I am now ahead of my peers in school. I have become an independent learner, which helps me get through my school work more efficiently. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Amazing. What do you enjoy most about Kumon? I love that I am always learning something new in Kumon. What keeps you motivated in Kumon? My Kumon Instructor and parents always continue to motivate me, and I use that as a constant reminder to myself if I want to give up. What did it mean to you attending the Student Conference? Attending the Student Conference meant a lot to me. My hard work has paid off and I now see the success! What advice do you have for other Kumon Students? My advice for other Kumon Students is to not give up just as I did. You will have challenging moments, but it will help you grow and lead you to having a successful future.

Three Foolproof Rules for Learning Guitar

Three Foolproof Rules for Learning Guitar Suzy S. Whats the best way to learn guitar? No matter which method you choose, or what style of music you want to play, these three rules from guitar teacher Sean L. are sure to put you on the road to success Learning guitar can be a daunting task when first approached. For many it is seen as only for the musically adept, but in reality anyone can learn guitar. By following these three simple rules, anyone can become a great guitarist. 1. Set Goals There is no one path to take for learning guitar and each individual must find their own way. The best way to finding your path is to let your influences guide you. You need to find out why you want to learn the guitar. This will tell you where to put your focus when practicing. Although being a well rounded guitarist is important, there is nothing wrong with excelling in one aspect of the guitar. Is your dream to start a punk rock garage band? Awsome! Work on those power chords.  Jealous of the campfire hero that always knows the perfect singalong? Then maybe mastering the CAGED system is a good idea for you.  Want to play a killer guitar solo to impress your friends? Then get your chops and scales together. Goal setting comes in two categories: 1. The Big Picture: impressing your friends, starting a band, making a living off of music, and becoming a rock god! These are all examples of goals to set that are not achieved in a day, week, month, or year. These goals should be broken up into a series of mini goals. These mini goals are the second category of goal setting. 2. The (not so) Big Picture: This is where learning the basics will lead to learning more advanced concepts and end up leaving you at your Big Picture goal. Usually by the time you’ve reached this goal you will have a new bigger goal, simply because we are all human, and humans are greedy. 2. Follow a Study Plan Your study plan would be those mini goals you (or your teacher) set for yourself. Lets take the example of becoming a campfire hero. This goal involves having a large acoustic guitar repertoire (that would be your Big Picture). To achieve that you need a lesson plan that would involve learning your favorite acoustic guitar songs. You need to learn chords and strumming patterns. 3. Stay Motivated The best way to achieve goals is persistence in your study plan. Guitar has a steep learning curve, but after you develop the basic technical facilities of the instrument learning new things becomes second nature. This is how you stay motivated, achieve realistic goals. The goals can be as simple as learning a G chord, or making that difficult chord change fluently. Keep in mind that having a private instructor can make a huge difference in the speed of your progress. An expert will often know what are the best steps to take to reach your goals. Learning guitar may become one of lifes most rewarding processes for you, as this creative and emotional outlet promotes confidence and relaxation. It can also open new doors of social interaction. I hope you find joy in your musical journey and wish you the best of luck finding your path to sonic enlightenment. Sean L. teaches acoustic guitar, guitar  and music theory  in Methuen, MA.  He has received many awards and certifications in the music world is currently working towards his Associates In Music from  NECC.  Sean has been teaching students since April 2014.  Learn more about Sean L. here!
