[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in second grade and we put her in private school to get some extra focus on basic math and hopes that she wouldn't develop confidence issues in math.   She has difficulty with very basic subtraction and addition - we tried rote memory, we tried computer tutoring, we tried kumon and we tried intensive tutoring with a specialist and manipulatives.

She is barely doing okay and managing - and we are happy with that!  But, it is a struggle, I have to have serious patience or just not sit down with her to do her homework and get someone else or ask the teachers because despite wanting to be better at this, I get frustrated because it is very alien to me and I am not an engineer or math wiz in any way.

Sometimes we ask her something she answered just 10 minutes before and she looks like a deer in headlights.  It's part math anxiety, part developmental and part who knows what - we are hoping for the best so she can manage school without feeling incapable.
