[quote=Anonymous]My kid can't do it as fast as I could as a kid, and his teacher reports that a number of kids are still struggling with this. I'm convinced it's because the new curriculum really didn't teach the basic facts the way we all learned them way back when. I remember doing math races/flashcard competitions every day when I was a kid at the end of each math class (catholic school --- sink or swim, that sort of competition was encouraged). My kid does well in school (not gifted, but straight Ps, FWIW), and he can figure out the answer within a few seconds by adding/counting --- but he can't rattle off SOME of the multiplication facts the way most of us could within a split second. Just curious if anyone else has a kid in a similar boat --- or if it's just our school (which is not a Title 1 school by any stretch of the imagination).[/quote]
