Easley 7, Tues

As I have experienced for the past couple weeks, the main focus for 3-4 section is kids' homework. For this reason, I tried to get there as soon as possible to have more time to help them today. The tutor is needed at Easley. Without people watching or helping them, some kids tend to just copy from friends or use calculator ( as they're not supported to). As like before, their main concern for today homework was math subject. Kids were doing fine with their writing and reading. Some still struggled with basic concept of science today also, but as soon as I asked them to read the textbook over again, they soon understood the problem. But with math, I feel like they are lacking of foundation concept. For example, I worked with this group including 2 boys and 2 girls, they are all have the same math homework. We were working on the proportion and fraction. Most of them get it, but they have trouble doing multiplication or division, that result in false answers. So I had to review all the step for multiplication or division and I was surprised how far they were behind. After the section, I felt so proud of myself for noticing the problem these kids were struggling and helping them to understand, even it was just a part of the whole things.
