If you are a parent and your child goes to school....

If you are a parent and you have a child in school....I would like to know

Does your child learn the same subject like adding for example during the whole week to master the subject on Friday and should practice at home over the weekend and refresh again on Monday as a test for a few minutes then onto subtracting.....or does the teacher teach different math stuff on different days? Like on Monday they learn about bar graph, then on Tuesday adding, and on Wednesday Subtracting because if so then as a parent wouldn't that confuse them?

I work alongside with a teacher with 4 and 5 year olds....and she basically tells me what I can do with my group and I realize that what she got me doing this week is all over place. Monday we did bar graph, Tuesday I can't even remember what we did.....today adding and now tomorrow we doing subtracting. Then next week we are onto dividing.... I feel like this whole week should of focused on one thing: How to read different types of graphs on different days and form some fun activity or games with them. And I also have to add that the children goes onto the computer to do a lesson each day....where they learn different things. I feel like all the information they are getting isn't being sinked in because each day it is something different....so I might have to bring in my concerns....

If I had a whole week of multiplication tables at that age, I'd have probably cried the whole week!!!

I hated maths as it was - but my weakest point was always multiplication tables.

I like the idea of a mix of topics so that you aren't spending too long on one child's weakest aspect in the subject.

With multiplication....games could be used not just paper and pencil. Like have the students be in groups sorting with actual objects, kahoot, multiplication scavenger hunt where if the students get the answer right they can go onto the next clue.

Like if it was up to me...I would of focused on different graphs each day to compare. Like Monday Bar Graph: Favorite Fruit, Tuesday Pie Graph: Favorite Vegetables, Wednesday the children draw what they eat during the morning, day, and night...Thursday create a bar graph on how many students said they ate the same thing during the Morning, Day and Night and on Friday they can create their own pie graph showing which vegetable/fruit they would eat less of or more of on a plate. They would shade in how much they would eat with the same color as the fruit or how less they would eat. Like if they like bananas more then they can color the whole plate yellow or draw as many bananas as they like and count them and write the number down then shade in a small amount of what they would eat less of.
