You are on the right track...Then make exaggerated stories about the objects that represent the numbers in sequence to make the children better remember. The more the stories are exaggerated, the better the children will remember the numbers.

Write down a number when you are going to bed. When you wake up try to remember what the number is. As you keep doing this your memory will improve. Also anything that creates new brain cells aids memory so try learn a new language. Brushing your teeth with your left hand also creates new brain cells

My daughter is learning this right now!  I taught her to first memorize:\n\nMean - average\n\nMedian - Middle\n\nMode - most \n\nOnce you memorize that you are half way there.\n\nThe first step I have her do is put all the numbers in order\n\nI.E.:\n\n1\n2\n3\n3\n3\n4\n5\n\n\nThen look at the middle number - 3\nLook at what occurs most - 3\nNow add them up and divide by how many numbers there are:\n1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 21 \n\n21 divided by 7 = 3\n\n3 is the mean

there are many math and other workbook type books at the department stores also flash cards, and perhaps when you set the table for meals have her set the table and count the plates silverware and other things around the house, you may also put cards or signs around the house as a reminder, we did this with memory verses from the bible to help the kids learn the basic principles of the bible. It does work. visual aids as well as practicing math with common things around the house. the simle things can be used for add subtract, multiply and divide. alternate weeks four plate take away one or two as you set or clear the table. one for tims how many people etc. you can be creative i know you can.

Practice with easy stuff that you can quickly remember.\n\nFor instance, if you want to be able to add numbers quickly, remember how to add numbers 1 through 9 to each other (ie 5 + 9 = 14; 2+8 = 10). Once you know these, try writing down double digit numbers and try to solve them in your head.  You will already know how to do the ones column.\n\nFor instance:\n   45\n+19\n-------\n64\n\nLearn easy problems first then move on to hard ones.  You can apply this to subtraction, division, and multiplication too.  It really is just practice that will make you better.

Fisrt use a phrasebook, so they will have a basic grasp when they do, you can proceed with learning books.\n\ntry pimsleur learning method,they are recorded books this is one of the best

1. Take notes every day.  Copy them over neatly in a noterbook when you get home.  It will help you remember.\n\n2. If the teachers assigns 10 problems for homework, work 20.  Ask the teacher for extra problems if you need them to do this.\n\n3, NEVER NEVER hesitate to ask the teacher for extra help.  It is free and guess who writes the test.\n\n4. If you need it, ask your teacher how to get a tutor where you live.\n\n5. If homework is assinged on Monday and it is due Friday, DO IT ON MONDAY!!  That way if you have problems you have three days to ask your teacher.

the best way is memorization... some may say otherwise.  It will take a while, but multiplication is KEY to mathematics... if you dont get your mult tables, it will make math more tedious in the long run.  (trust me, I am a math teacher).  Start by writing your times tables over and over again.  Then either make or buy some flashcards.  Also, Get your parents and friends to quiz you.  \n\nGood luck!

Try writing it down, rewriting it.  Put into memory flash cards so you can look at them, write 5 bullet points and try to remember them, talk about them, write about them.  Test yourself, because you probably remember more than you think.  Be positive if you are positive you tend to remember more i have found.  Take a break if you have been working to long then you won't remember anything!  Take 5 Min's get a drink something to eat.  Don't read a book though it clouds up your memory of what you need to remember it confuses all the facts!!!!!

Yeah, right Cheerio - like you never made a typo...\n\nI am working on this myself.  There seems to be lot of resources for letters and reading, and much fewer for math.\n\nMy kids are big counting girls, so I try to have a group of blocks and have them count the red ones, then the green and the blue and then we count them all - then i say, see 6 red blocks, plus 4 green blocks, plus 5 blue blocks equals 15 blocks!  Hurray!\n\nI am really just trying to use the terms appropriately.  I hear a lot of folks use "take away" instead of minus, so I try to use that - start with a group of dollies to count and then take some away (and then try to plus again).  \n\nMy kids are 3 & 6 so I only do it in short spurts and try to come upon sort of natural examples - oh look at this pretty lawn with all the flowers, lets count the pink ones...\n\nThat sort of thing.  If you are more advanced, I suggest trying to find web sites and computer games.  Again, I have found a lot more reading than math ones, but they are out there I think.  Remember too that computer games that talk about patterns, sorting (like Zoe's Animal Shelter Game or Oscar's trash sorting game), etc. also count as math skills - and while it doesn'thave us seeing them adding and subtracting right away, it will sure help in the long run.

Questions should not be accumulated and memorized. They should come naturally within instruction or conversation with the kids.\n\nShe needs to decide what topic she's going to do with the kids, then ask questions about it that are about the things the kids can see, hear, touch, etc. or for them to draw conclusions (start with one step, then add if they are doing well). For instance, if she does want to talk about colors with the kids, she could do some fingerpainting or watercolors with them. Only give the kids the primary colors (red, yellow, blue). Have them try mixing the different colors. Ask "What color does red and yellow make?"\n\nOr lets say she wants to teach the difference between living and non-living things. She could put a rock and a caterpillar on the table, and ask the kids "What is the caterpillar doing?" "What is the rock doing?" "What can the caterpillar do that the rock can't do?"

Get a fake clock with moveable hands (you can make one with cardboard). First show them time on the hour (1:00, 2:00, etc. ) Once they have grasped that concept, teach them 1:30, 2:30, etc. Then move on to 1:15 and 1:45. Obviously, do this with all hours. Then teach them to tell time to within 5 minutes. Once they know this really well, teach them to tell time within the minute. To help them grasp the concept of time, set a stopwatch for a minute and make them wait so they know how long a minute is. Any longer, and they won't stay still. Hope this helps.

here are a few tips....\n1. first if you want to remember a list of few things, then try to make a corelation of those. for example, if you want to remember carpet, milk, computer and game, make a story like this....."milk on the carpet spilled when you were playing games on your computer"....\n\n2. say within yourself about the item quiet a few times.\n\n3. one never forgets those items which he likes....so start liking those....\n\n....now....will you remember to give me 10 points....lets see...please...

memory has to do with how you store the information in your mind, and strategies you have for recall.  There are very easy ways to accomplish this, and have easy, long-term recall of school data. Email me at coach4learn@yahoo.com and Id be happy to give you more info on that.\n\nP.S. Im a vegetarian too!!!

It depends upon the way you think. We're all different.\n\nFor me, the best way was to always write stuff down. Even if it was a little incoherant. For me, the process of writing makes me remember stuff more. Others remember by saying - so use notecards. Hope this helps.\n\nGood luck.
