  Case: Frustrated
I have a student who is low level at math and reading because he doesn't get much practice at home. I make sure to give him the time necessary for I-station and ST math in order to raise his levels. Unfortunately, he gets so frustrated on the games when he doesn't get it right or has to start over. He starts to cry and hits the computer and doesn't continue to learn because of his frustration. what should I do to make sure he gets the best out of his computer time and how should I help him to avoid getting frustrated?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Provide brain breaks when he begins to show frustration. Often times, taking a moment to take a few deep breaths help them revisit the math problem with a better attitude.

Comments: This is a great solution and something would definitely try in my classroom. Breaks would give him the time he needs to calm down and return to the question when he is ready.
