Hi Pamela- As I read through your post I had a strong feeling that your students are predominantly kinesthetic which you confirmed in your final sentence. Kinesthetic learners need to learn by doing so you are really doing a great job with them. It is of course often easier just to jump in and "do" it for them to quickly move on to the next step, but, as you say, they need to struggle a bit to really get it! Best wishes- Suan
