Mutiplying project

Well, Mother did not anticipated that it was so smooth sailing on teaching Ethan on the multiplying.

From the conception of the idea until today, mother had been cracking the head on what method to teach him. Using the ready product in market like buying the CD or flash card and etc.. Or download from the internet the timetable but found out that only have up until 9 instead of 12 timetable. Mother even thought of recording mother's voice reading the timetable and playing it back. In the end, mother homemade the timetable and no recording. Why no recording because the recording cannot stop and wait for the kid to follow and repeat the words. Mother read aloud with him is more flexible depending on his speed.

Where and when mother teaches him? Well, mother only teach him on the way while mother drives him to and back from kindergarten. Normally there was a bit of traffic jam on the road so mother asked him to follow what mother said and he did. Then before his nap time, mother asked him to follow mother reading the timetable again. Surprising, it only take one day for him to memorize the timetable of 2. Of course mother only teach him one timetable since the target is one month per one timetable.

In order to let him understand what is the purpose of him having to memorize the timetable, mother had printed out the worksheet for him to do. Mother's opinion is if he did not constantly practice on timetable surely one day he will return back to zero. People may think mother is cruel but this is the fact.

He was a bit slow when doing the worksheet but he had tried his best to calculate by himself and get assurance from mother. Today he just finished 6 pages of worksheet from 0 - 2.
