Another question that I have been meaning to post for awhile. With the practice sheets, my son's time is supposed to be decreasing, but his are increasing. I think it is recommended that his time be under 1 minute. For the first practice worksheet he got done in 1 minute 10 seconds twice, then the next time was 1 minute 30 seconds. What does this mean? What should I do?

Sincerely,
Michele

Dear Michele,
Relax. His times are great. We are not so interested in fast answers as accurate mathematical thinking. He simply records his times to see if he can see any patterns and for personal motivation. It sounds like you are both doing a great job.
