  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!)
A possible solution could be try shorter time increments on the computer. Follow the remainder of the time with a hands on manipulative game that he can do with another student. This will give him other alternatives to learning. If that doesn't work sit down and work with him at the computer so you can see where the frustration comes in.
