60 Seconds on Down Syndrome

[Guest guest]

From Ideal Lives:

Here's a Down syndrome tip I discovered that's been a lifesaver for

many.

Math is a subject that many kids struggle with. I know mine

certainly do. Primarily this is because math can seem so abstract.

The key to helping your child succeed in math is to make the

concepts as concrete as possible.

What works:

1. Hands on activities like the ones described here:

2. The touchmath system - This works really well for young students

who are falling below grade level and is often something teachers

are already familiar with.

3. Not reinventing the wheel. De Horstmeier is an expert on

teaching math to kids who are hands-on learners. Check out her

book for ideas on how to make math meaningful to your child.
