If you are wanting to teach math to your EL child and aren't sure how to do it, I'd like to invite you to the Gattegno Cuisenaire Training held at the Bronx Charter School for Better Learning. You have the option of attending live with some veteran EL moms or live streaming. If you live stream - you might as well have a streaming party and invite your friends. I know, you aren't out of the EL closet yet. Been there.
This conference is sponsored by my blog arithmophobianomore.com and probably 1/2 the attendees will be veteran EL moms. We all met on BK 3-6 years ago and have found varying degrees of success with teaching reading, music, science etc. Math has always been a sticking point for most of us. It's not just you. I went on a binge to fix the "math problem" . I found a solution. It is not THE solution, but I'm not certain there is one solution.
You are welcome to join us and you can join us over on FB at
