[quote=Anonymous]10 y.o. DC makes a lot of careless math mistakes -- e.g., in a sheet of 20 problems of multiplying two and three-digit numbers -- DC got 8 wrong. There are enough right answers that I am confident that DC knows the concept and process. When I review, I find basic calculation errors (like 3 + 2 + 1 = 7) though DC has had all math facts memorized for years. I've repeatedly suggested that DC not rush and check the work but that isn't helping. FWIW, DC has no similar issues in other subjects and has a very good attention span for reading, art, and other projects. DC's math teacher has occasionally notified me that DC doesn't seem to be getting something but when we work on it at home, the issue really seems to be carelessness. Anyone else dealt with this? Is it developmental and we just need to give it time to self-correct? Or is there something we can do to help? TIA.[/quote]
