I am a music teacher whose friend has just adopted her grandchildren. One of them is 16 and we discovered when playing UNO that she does not know basic addition (and probably doesn't know subtraction, etc., either.) When her grandmother tried to help her with it, she said she didn't need to learn it because she has a calculator but she "can do multiplication."
Does anyone have any ideas how to approach her? Are there any videos that might open her eyes to why learning basic math is advantageous? Ideas for ways to help her learn addition, etc.? She is probably embarrassed but she is bright and is in an honor's level theater class.
Thanks.
