My 15 year old granddaughter hates math and cannot even do the basics like add -17+17=0. Her answer was -34. I am pushing her since she always fails her math classes and she gets very angry! She is taking Algebra again and I would like a problem in "order of operation", can someone help?
The problem should include all phases and be very long but simple. Thanks
I love math but now I have become a tutor to my 2 grandchildren who are failing in Algebra and Geometry. I was very good in Algebra and had a really hard time in Geometry. I have tried the Geometry but it moves too fast and I work full time and the 2 children[14 and 16] are new to my household. They just lost both their parents and are having to cope with a whole lot. They came from a very unstructured household where Mom said if you don't feel like going to school just stay home and never bothered about their lessons whether they did the work or not. I can teach the Algebra just fine but my granddaughter cannot do simple math so I am at a loss to get her interested again in numbers and where to concentrate my efforts. I have started with the simple worksheets for subtraction{negative and positive signs} and she has a really hard time with this. For example -4-3 = -1(her answer). Any suggestions?
This is a great place for worksheets. I have a 14 year old granddaughter who cannot even do simple subtraction let alone any Algebra which she is getting an F in. The F is due to lack of simple math skills. I have printed out a lot of multiplication, division and subtraction{positive and negative signs}. She was getting 2 to 5 correct out of 20 in the subtraction and now she is missing 2 to 5 which is a large improvement. Multiplication is worse since she does not know her tables. I would appreciate any suggestions to peek her interest with math or any other subject since she is failing all classes. A lenghy discourse on why she is so behind.
