My 8th grade DD was and is the same. I believe that while she may have inattentive ADHD, another issue is simply lack of practice in late elementary. Her teachers rarely sent home math homework to practice some pretty critical skills. I think the idea of doing some drill at home is good. Also just discussing how to check your work. |
