Please help me w/ some ideas. Ds9 has a hard time with mult. facts (well, math facts in general) and we MUST find a way to help him...soon. He LOVES football and basketball. Okay, love isn't quite strong enough, but you get it! So, I'm thinking of using mult. problems in a football/basketball game format. Some ideas:

Get problem correct and advance certain # of yards down field

Problem incorrect = interception

Harder problems for a touchdown, easier for advancing.

Early stages of development here but any creative minds out there that can offer any suggestions to make this fun would so be appreciated!

Follow Ups:

• Dh often asks ds (7) to tell him how many touchdowns, field goals, etc. (sm) - Mrs. H. 20:35 Jan 11 (1)
  • Good idea...ds actually does this on his own while watching a game and has learned 7's tables (to some extent!). nt - Sue G in PA 20:43 Jan 11 (0)
