3 Rules of Mind Workouts
1) Parents do not offer help at home; these are to be done independently. The goal is to sit with a problem and persevere for an extended period of time.
2) Parents please do not hire someone to help them. The answers will come. This is about the opportunity to develop the thought process.
3) Parents, you are a partner in learning. Ask your child is there anything on this page you recognize? (symbols? words?) Encourage your child to try their best and set 5 minutes on a timer. Circle things that look familiar. Use question marks where there is confusion. After 5 minutes if they are not making progress, encourage them to think about what they want to ask the group, write a question or two they want to ask tomorrow in class when they solve the problem together.
