Today I finished up Week 1's Maths lessons. Frustraaaaaaaaaation. I was not not not designed to be a maths teacher.
Jonty, count in 10's from 10 to 100.
10, 20, 30 ... all the way to ... 100
Jonty, count in tens from 6.
6, 16, 26, etc...
Jonty, count backwards in tens from 55
55, 45, 35
The boy's a genius. he's got this concept so quickly. The first time we've done it and he's brilliant - he's referring to his chart, but that's fine, he's allowed to and I am glad he's figured out how to use it.
Jonty, count backwards in tens from 26
25, 24, 23...
Jonty, what's 2 10's more than 10?
12
Jonty, what's 2 minus 1?
0 - he says, after working it out on his fingers!!!!!!
aaaaaagh.
What can I do?
I am just not a maths teacher.
