Feeling Stuck: What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do

Ask for David or Jack

WE SHOW UP

561-245-7100 NEW

By Beth and Rich Fornauf Remember that feeling you used to get in school, when you’d stare at a question or problem for a good five minutes and think, “Hmmm. Maybe it’s in a different language?”

A teacher’s guide to problem-solving for kids who want to learn (and their parents)

When you’re a student, there are few feelings worse than thinking you don’t have a clue.

Panic and anxiety set up camp and make it almost impossible to concentrate, let alone plan out a course of action. And even though kids today have a wealth of resources at their virtual fingertips, many are still stumped by difficult questions, especially in math. Add pressure to get the right answer (and get it fast), and many kids give up, shut down, and feel bad about themselves.

As a parent, it’s difficult to see your child struggle, particularly when there isn’t much you can do to help. For many moms and dads, things like math class and mind benders are distant memories.

But parents pay attention, we’ve got a teacher’s secret you should know: Remember those skills and strategies you learned in math class years ago? You use

them all the time.

This may come as a shock, especially to those of you who don’t consider yourselves “math people.” But the truth is that problem solving is a skill that every child, regardless of interest, inclination and aptitude, needs to know. So get ready for a refresher, because we’ve got the how-to on what to do when you (and your child) feel stuck.

Step 1: Identify the question As kids get older they are faced with test and homework questions that are very involved. With a push toward practical, realworld application, many students are asked to solve complex, multi-step problems on a daily basis. In these cases, it’s important to figure out what the question is actually asking.

This is easier said than done. The first step is to look for that question mark. It may not be the problem’s only question, but it’s a start. Have your child highlight or underline it. Then go back and reread the

entire problem. Usually the first sentence is an introduction, and the second gives information. Circle any sections that contain information for solving. When your child gets to a section that is asking her to “find,” “calculate,” “solve,” or “evaluate,” take note: these are question words. Have her rewrite the question(s) on a piece of scrap paper.

Knowing what type of problem you’re supposed to solve is half the battle.

Step 2: Reword and rewrite Tackling a problem written in paragraph form is hard enough – but when there are a bunch of long, scary words you don’t recognize, the task feels insurmountable.

Once your child has figured out the question, have him go back and reread the problem again, and write down any words he doesn’t know. Even if he isn’t totally clear on a word, have him write it. Then have him look them up in his math book, or the glossary, or even online. Find a synonym that he understands and replace the scary word to make the problem more readable.

The problems that students typically see on homework or class assessments are based on material that they’ve learned. This is good news: even if your child is initially stuck, chances are there are examples she can use as a reference from notes or previous assignments.

Step 3: Find similarities

Look back at that question from step one. Chances are there is a similar question that your child has done as classwork or homework, so take some time to look through her book and binder.

a different story. Skip to step five.

If she can’t find anything that looks familiar in her class materials, talk about it for a minute. See if asking, “where have you seen this before” or “what does this remind you of?” can spark her memory. You can even share your own examples, if you have them. Draw a picture. So often seeing a visual can spark at least a starting point.

Plus, you have evidence that she tried different approaches.

You can also look online to try to find a similar example. Reinforce the notion that finding the answer won’t help if she can’t explain how she got it.

Step 4: Break it down Remember all that highlighting and circling you did in the previous steps? Now is the time to put it to use. Have your child break the problem down into manageable chunks and see where he stands.

On his scrap paper, make two columns. On the left, write all the information he gleaned from his reread. Usually this will include some background information and a few numbers needed to actually do the math.

On the right, write down what you are trying to find. Label each unknown with a question mark. Organizing information will help your child weed out the important facts from the problem, and ignore the extraneous stuff.

Note what type of operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing) are needed. Write those down too, so your child can play with the numbers a bit, and get some practice.

At this point, your child may be ready to try to solve the problem. If that’s the case, go for it. If he’s still stumped, keep reading.

Step 5: Use your resources At this point, it may be helpful to recruit additional expertise. If the problem is a little clearer at this point, take another look through your child’s math book to see if you can find a similar example. If not, get online.

Be careful at this step: you don’t want to just google the question and find an answer. Even if it’s correct, it’s not helping anyone down the road. Most teachers have a website, so start there. See if there are examples posted, or hints about this type of problem. Another good resource is Kahn Academy (www.kahnacademy.org), which can guide your child through problems similar to the ones he sees in school. Try to find one that’s a little simpler to first get the understanding in place, then attempt more challenging ones.

Step 6: Make it friendly If your child thinks she might understand how to start solving, but is still unsure, have her make the problem friendlier. Some numbers just look scary to kids, so if there are a lot of decimals, for example, have her substitute whole numbers instead.

Pretending she knows what to do, and going through the process with familiar numbers can build her confidence and let her feel some success. Once she’s successfully solved one or two friendly problems, go back and try the original.

Step 7: Try it again Once your child has made it through these steps, have him try it again. Ask the question, look at what he knows, maybe even draw another picture. Get everything organized and tell him to get as far as he can.

DISCOVER WEIGHT LOSS THAT WORKS

the answer, going through this process will empower her to struggle on her own. And struggling, though they don’t usually like it, is how kids learn best. If she successfully muddles through the first few steps, she can say to her teacher, “Here’s what I’ve done. What can I try next?” which always sounds better than, “I don’t know what to do” or “I don’t get it.”

Most important, having a course of action to follow will help your child the next time she feels stuck. Each time she tackles an unfamiliar problem, she’s more likely to stick with it and get further in the process until she gets it herself. And isn’t that what learning is all about?

quarts popped popcorn teaspoons extra virgin olive oil tablespoon fresh (1 teaspoon dried) oregano 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh (½ teaspoon dried) basil 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes 1 tablespoon (or to taste) grated Parmesan cheese

Your late season foraging will pay off.

Fresh herbs are a great addition to most meals, transforming a bland dish into something savory. Fresh herbs add instant gratification with their distinct flavors.

What would tomato and mozzarella salad be without basil?

Dried herbs are less potent than fresh, but good quality dried herbs are worth having on hand. If you have an abundance of fresh herbs in your garden, try drying them for use during winter months. Air drying or a dehydrator work well for many herbs. The National Center for Home Food Preservation (nchfp.uga.edu) offers great tips on “how to.”

Only

Italian Popcorn

uickly fading gardens may hold hidden gems that still can be harvested, provided you get to them before a hard frost. Anyone who has had mounds of glorious basil nipped by ice crystals can attest to the blackened mass that has taken it’s place, rendered useless overnight.

Hardier herbs like oregano and thyme can withstand cooler temperatures.

Sift through fallen leaves and you’ll be surprised by what you might find.

Directions:

Whether fresh or dried, you’ll enjoy using herbs in this recipe for Italian Popcorn from the Popcorn Board (www. popcorn.org). It’s a snap to make— popcorn is tossed with herbs, a touch of Parmesan cheese and a pinch of red chili flakes—and will quickly become one of your “go-to” recipes. Delicious!

Place popcorn in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil; toss. In a small bowl, mix oregano, basil, garlic, salt and chili flakes. Sprinkle herb mixture over popcorn and toss again. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; toss and serve.

Note: For fewer calories, omit olive oil.

Spray popcorn lightly with cooking spray.

200,000 Children Are Back in School.

It’s time to remind your children about the rules of the road. Whether walking or riding a bike to school, children should remember to: • Always wear a bicycle helmet. Helmets can reduce the risk of severe head injuries by 88 percent.

• Always ride on the right side of the road, with traffic.

• Minimize distractions. Pay attention to surroundings - take off headphones and put down phones. This is especially important when crossing the street or in parking lots.

• Make eye contact with the driver before crossing in front of a car.
