A lot of the ideas just sound like sound math skills too. Missed doing your sketch the last couple of weeks. Here is this one. http://katiespaperhaven.blogspot.com/2008/09/make-wish-and-vent.html Hi Lauren,

Wow, lots of great suggestions and ideas. A lot of the ideas just sound like sound math skills too.

I usually don't do circles too often, so this helped me out of my comfort zone. You can see my sample here: www.ericasartisticattic.blogspot.com Thanks for another great sketch.

Since we teach math a little differently in France, it is even harder for me to know how to approach it with her! You are right it is hard for the 1st child! :-( With me the special needs child is the 2nd one, and weirdly enough he did some things before Naomi (like walking), it is sometime so confusing!... Love your card and the choice of colors, gorgeous! :-)

Another issue with Lauren you may not have thought about is her past chemotherapy treatment. As a pedi oncology nurse I know that post chemo cognitive problems are common in children who have had spinal chemo (which I assume she had with her ALL). It is especially noted with abstract concepts, like math. So this, in addition to her down's may be contributing to the problem. Feel free to email me if you have questions about this. Good luck, I am sure she will get it with your help!

All of the suggestions about using manipulatives are great! Also the touch points work well for some kids too. One thing to remember is that learning is best done when concrete examples are used and provided. For example, you have an orange and then a picture of an orange. The orange is the concrete example of what an orange is, where the picture is only that, a picture of an orange. A child is always going to learn what an orange is better when they can see the real thing, then later they can transfer that knowledge to calling the picture of an orange, an orange. I would suggest working with hands-on items. Like beans, m&m's, counting blocks, books. There are tons of things in your house you can use. Start simple. Using things with different colors may help too. Hey Lauren, just saw this post about Alexa’s math troubles. All of the suggestions about using manipulatives are great!
