Math Help

A friend of mine told me of how prayer helped her teach her daughter math.  Her 7th grade daughter was really struggling with multiple-digit times multiple-digit.  She just couldn't get it.  Mom tried everything she knew, but nothing helped.  Then Mom prayed about it.  She realized that Heavenly Father knew this daughter, knew the way she learned, and knew how to help her.  And she got the answer! 
She told her daughter it was like the first row was all the kids in the family and the second row was Dad and Mom.  For example, Mom feeds Baby, wipes Sister's face, and ties Brother's shoe.  As she finishes with each child, she hands them off to Dad.  Dad changes Baby's diaper, helps Sister find her shoes, and combs Brother's hair.

Relating math to family responsibilities made the multiplication click for her Daughter!  More importantly, it helped this Mother know that Heavenly Father will help her teach her children.
