This child needs to learn some math skills, but first, let's work on their anger management. Option D is the way to go. Oh, and can we get a calculator on the exam? Just in case.

Option A? Removing the math problem? That's just avoiding the problem. We should be helping the child, not coddling them.

I agree with Gladis. Punishing the aggression (option C) might work in the short term, but it doesn't address the underlying issue. Giving him the answer (option B) won't help him learn either.

Option D seems like the best approach. Teaching the child an alternative escape response can help them develop better coping mechanisms without resorting to aggression.
