Dites les matheux : y'a une gamine qui comprend pas du tout le Théorème de Thalès, et en vrai ça a toujours été une lacune chez moi depuis le collège (oui, je sais ce que c'est, mais comme c'est pas une évidence pour moi ça me rend difficile de l'expliquer sans embrouiller plus l''enfant).
Y'aurait une ressource en ligne qui serait hyper-pédagogique sur le sujet ?

I didn't see this post until just now. It's something I'm thinking about.
The "light and frequent touch" that matters in mathematics. "Don't let more than two days go by without stopping to do a little math"
Otherwise I have seen students who are always starting over each time they sit down to study after avoiding the subject for three or four days. They spend so much time remembering where they were ... there is no progress.
Thanks !
I don't how if you looked at the answers I got on the OP ?
They gave me two good Math channels In French, one even on Peertube (not like some other Math teacher I know) : https://zenzitube.com/c/micmaths and https://inv.nadeko.net/channel/UCaDqmzanCq4ZYhdEm0Df9Qg
Any advice on how to use them ?
They're slow enough in their explanations, clear and explicit, but I'm not entirely sure that their vocabulary will be entirely understandable by the kids (even if the videasts tries their best).
35 min every day is often enough to get a student back into making progress.
But, if it's 2 hours, but every three days they end up learning the same thing over and over... nothing builds. It's always starting from nothing each time.
But often we avoid things we don't feel "good at" and then want to just "get it over with" being reminded every single day can seem like a gloomy future.
But it's not! If you can get through that first week or two.
If I had 2 hours of math twice a week, I wouldn't be pessimistic about the results...
I have twice a week one hour (or a little more) for each child (separately, since they're not in the same class) for *all* their lessons - they're behind on everything.
As it happens when teachers teach without checking that the kids have the prerequisites...
The numbers vary but it's more the general idea that the longer the break between study sessions the more of the next session must be review.
And then there are the practical matters. Where is the book? Do you have the right tools? This can also eat up more time when there is a gap.
And if a subject is hard and not going well a student isn't likely to think about it at all outside of the class or study time. While when we like a subject we think about it... connect to it more.
Sure, that's why I was asking for good internet resources, that they can study on their own while I'm not there (as I wrote, they're quite far away, I can't go there every day, even twice a week is a problem).
And also on advice on how to use these resources.
Yvan Monka's channel is clearly organized and mostly has shorts, I planned on asking the kids to watch one video (around 5-10 mn each) every day.
Would that be sufficient ?
How to manage when they don't understand the video ?
For the kid, English is a no-go, but for me it would be fine.
And if I really understand, then I can explain.
By the way, do you have more general knowledge about how kids that are far behind can catch up ?
The ones I care for live quite far away, so I try to do two one-hour seances per week, and it's already taxing for me, so I'm not sure I can do more (not even sure that I can keep doing that in the long term).
