wut r good ways for a sixth grader going into seventh grade to improve math skills??

Answer 1

There are tutors, or on-line tutoring services. My kids loved some cds I bought with basically video games, but you had to do math quickly to win.

I'd look around at web-based classes directed toward improving math skills. You may find one that your son considers fun, and you don't have to fight with him to study.

Talk to your son's school counselor. They know which teachers are really good and which are only mediocre. Insist your son get a good teacher, because that can make all the difference in whether your son understands and applies the concepts.

Does your school have AP, pre-AP? I know this sounds crazy, but the AP classes are run more efficiently, and the goof offs are not there, and there is less distraction. We put our son in regular English. Big mistake. He'd come home telling me all the stuff that went on in that class, and we were appalled. From now on, he's taking AP classes. AP aren't necessarily kids that are extra bright. Anyone can get into AP.

I hope I've offered some ideas.

Answer 2

Check and see if your high school has tutors. I am a senior and I helped younger students with math and English. The guidance department in the high school runs it and the Juniors and seniors that are the tutors are in the National Honor Society, most of the time, so they know what they are talking about. It's a great way to learn little tricks that students not that much older than you have learned and they can also give you helpful adivce.
