<p>Agreed that there are more ways to skin this cat. Just trying to help my less than gifted math student. For some, drawing connections between similar problems is intuitive, or logical. For others, re-doing a problem until mastery may be necessary to help cement the process in their minds.</p>
<p>Given that math is not his strong suit, we may indeed have reached the outer limits of his abilities. We just need to get through this year. </p>
<p>Thx everyone. </p>
