I’m a teaching assistant in a 4th/5th special ed class. Some of my kids are seriously delayed in math. We work in small groups according to their levels and one of my groups is struggling through simple long division with remainders. Some of the kids are just waiting for me to say 6 or 7 so they can shout out 6-7 and do the silly hand movement. They scan their papers for the numbers and point them out as soon as they sit down. If I’m showing them something on a number chart or number line, they’re not even listening. They’re just waiting for me to get to 6 so they can start with the nonsense. It’s really become disruptive to learning. I hope it goes away sooner than later!
