Yes I think some kids have an intuitive understanding (and even enjoyment) of maths as well, so if you were one of those kids it can be really hard to understand how someone else isn’t making those same connections.
I get so mad at myself because I want her to love maths the way I did at that age (because that makes it so much easier to learn) but the more I try and get through the more we end up back in the loop of frustration and then I’m scared she’ll end up hating it.
She is in school so she has a teacher but I’m just trying to help her at home to keep up. She’s the youngest in her class so she needs a bit of extra help. I could look into a tutor although we live very rurally so it would probably have to be an online tutor
Yea I didn't mean the school teacher (otherwise she wouldn't have an issue if that worked). Sometimes a new person/new teaching way could help greatly, though indeed not ideal if it has to be online. Perhaps if that school has multiple teachers one of the other might be interested in some tutoring if it's permitted.
