The student and I started the session with some multiplication practice (multiplying by 6). She knows this so well now. We then read a short story, and she did a good job sounding out words she didn't know (refrigerator, electricity) and then answered some multiple choice questions. Finally, we finished with some story/word problems. She really enjoys these, and they are a nice challenge for her. We started doing some problems that involve multiplication -- we talked about the different strategies (drawing a picture, repeated addition, and finally multiplication) for these problems. We also did some problems involving larger numbers that include carrying for addition/subtraction. She is amazingly good at that!
