[quote=Anonymous]  My child's math teacher uses cutesy fonts and about 5 different colors for per-algebra math problems. My daughter is a good math student so I wondered why she struggled when I could literally give her the same math problems in writing and she'd do fine. She does great on ecarts too which are not colorful. Low and behold when i took a look I found the colorful math problems on colorful slides set off my own ADD and stress. She didn't color code to make the math problems easier, it's just lots of random colors and cutesy fonts and I actually got a headache going through the group of slides my daughter had trouble with. Is this a thing? Do other kids find it really distracting visually? I always thought bright colors are supposed to help kids maintain attention, but this was almost like listening to clashing music.  I did politely let the teacher know so she gets regular black and white problems to print out sometimes for homework. Just wondering how common this is.[/quote]
