[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is on grade level for math but has trouble memorizing math facts.  Also, she has adhd and has trouble focusing.  I want her to have some math support so that she starts to feel like math is something that comes naturally to her.

Is kumon too much like school?  Can you do it from home or only at a center?  Beast Academy looks like more fun but will it help her with math facts?

She does like math word problems when I read them to her, but her reading is not yet good enough for her to do word problems entirely on her own. [/quote]

At this age, I would stick to simple math drill worksheets you can print off the web for free, or make your own, and play lots of math games with score keeping. Even a really simple game like rolling a handful of dice and seeing who gets the higher sum. You can also buy Kumon workbooks on Amazon, but I don't think it's worth the money when you can just get a piece of paper and write a dozen addition and subtractions problems yourself. If you ask the teacher, he/she might even have some worksheets for more at-home practice.

These are BA placement tests if you're curious about that option. They will give you an idea of the kind material that company favors.
