Improvement in math attitude!
I synthesized everyone's input on my math dilemma and came up with a strategy.
We are sticking with Singapore Math, but if she can do the first five problems with good explanation of what she is doing and accuracy she doesn't have to do the rest. This morning she did five word problems and successfully identified how to approach them and completing them correctly, so she didn't have to do the last two. She has a strong grasp on how to approach a problem and solve it. She is still weak in her basic arithmetic (multiplication tables.)
I have ordered some math games. One is called Wrap Ups and works on basic multiplication, division, and fractions. The other is Carmen Sandiego Math Detective, for 1 cent on Amazon (plus $4 shipping.)
We did a math mystery for bedtime last night. She requested more and solved them all.
She was enthusiastic about doing her math this morning!
Y'all are brilliant. Thanks for your help.
