I have been and am now in that exact place with a student. I have fought tooth and nail to help that child, but there comes a point when all you can do is emotionally disengage. Keep doing what you...

not in love
We got one, but we've had a bunch of problems. It's supposed to be wifi, but it doesn't connect because it's still only 2.4 GHz. (Didn't know until we got it.) It also doesn't do the regular pattern...

Used to be Flash!
I wonder if they were switching over to html5? I know I used to have to use Puffin for my students to access them on iPads.

I use MathReps (EduProtocols). One of the features is a Tool Box. I find that many students get bogged down when trying to estimate. (How many times does 12 go into 56?)

I do the Fast and Curious EduProtocol. The premise is that you repeat multiple times and try to get the class average up.
