Time Tests



In Davis's class they do timed math tests to help them memorize the basics, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Davis was having a hard time with this. He is easily distracted and he tends to psych himself out. Anyway I will confess I was a little worried because he was getting behind so I went and bought flash cards and a little bribe, a new Indiana Lego set! Say what you will about my Mom skills, the bribe worked and Davis passed the subtraction test two days later. Not only that, but without a bribe he passed the two's multiplication the next week!

Yeah Davis! I am dreading the x6's and on up. I still get some of them all mixed up. I haven't had to bribe Ethan yet, but it may come to that.

Hey, sometimes a Mom's gotta do what a Mom's goota do. Bribes work brilliantly!! Way to go Davis!
Aren't legos a great thing when you need them?
