Last spring, I was part of a tutoring agency that offered activities to students in grades 1 to 6. The main goal of this agency was to give students a set of math problems or readings in English so that they achieve exceptional results in these two subjects at school. During my tutoring sessions, I had a 4th grader named Carolina who was having trouble staying focused, understanding the concept, and being fully interested. She preferred to text in the middle of our session or make excuses to go to the bathroom. Honestly, I felt helpless towards her and didn't know what to do or how to help her improve her grades. I realized that our tutoring sessions were not helping Carolina as her mother was showing me her worsening grades. I finally decided to plan my tutoring session with her in advance, so I could make it interesting and more effective for her to learn, but in a fun way. I chose to acquire different colored cards, markers and anything else that would attract attention. When our session began, I used these markers and cards to show him how to solve a math problem by color coding each step of the problem. Later, I asked her to show me the math process she used in a similar problem using these colorful cards and markers. Apparently I have him using all these fun utensils which have made the learning process more fun and effective. At the end of our session, I gave Carolina a quiz on the content we had covered, and she made progress. I noticed that for Carolina, the use of colors in each step really made her learn. Maybe it was due to the strategy I showed him and his ability to remember these steps by associating them with each color, which amazed me in the middle of a sheet of paper.... ...Such strategies vary depending on the student's study methods. Otherwise, if the student lacks metacognitive skills, he or she wastes hours studying and achieves unsatisfactory results. Metacognition is linked to high intellectual ability so that students learn efficiently and with little effort. Metacognition can be complex; however, it is essential to teach at the elementary level because it is an intellectual habit that can be acquired through the teacher's teaching method and the student's awareness of learning. Thinking about thinking is necessary at the elementary level because of the student's awareness of the thinking process. The teacher must be aware of the different aspects of each student's learning and be able to work with him with different strategies that are best to make his learning process more effective and interesting..
