Maths anxiety is being a math teacher and knowing that every day your lesson is going to suck because the majority of kids can't reason their way out of a wet paper bag and can't even add without a calculator. How are they supposed to see patterns and such when they know so little about math? It's not like we can just give them an edpuzzle and have them read some stuff and come up with an opinion. And, if the majority of your class is very low, white boards are useless because groups will be off task. There really must be tracking in math classes. Grade level kids can be in bigger classes, but lower students need small, individualized settings to help them from where they are.

We recently sleep trained our 7 month son. He went from waking up multiple times during night and taking only 30 minute naps 3 times during day (most cases nursed to sleep or rocked to sleep or took a drive) to sleeping 12 hours at night without interruption and two 2 hour naps and one 45 minutes nap during day. We both love that he is getting enough sleep and well rested on one hand. On the other hand, we are now wondering if he is sleeping way too much.. contd…

It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible.

Thanks for any advice.
