I may have to force my friend P. to hand over her son for part of the summer. He has a natural interest in math, but is now being potentially moved down to the SPED math track because he can't do word problems.
I'm pretty sure I can fix that.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm finally tracking down ISBN numbers.
Every time I want to find some book I've never bought but now need ....I can't find it anywhere.
Once you've got the ISBN numbers, it takes seconds.
btw, I've got an "ISBN numbers" category on the sidebar.
It pulls up all the ISBN posts.
