[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP, neither class is going to solve the problem but compacted is probably the right level for your DC and he will be happier there. Practice with calculations is just underplayed in the curriculum, you should drill at home. Consider a long division workbook. That should be something he understands completely but executing a problem requires all the operations, fact fluency and careful record keeping. It really hits home that getting the right answer means getting every step correct. Obviously this isn't an issue which goes away, there's nothing worse than filling a page with calculations only to realize there was a sign error on the second line. Math doesn't just require understanding, it calls for focus and some of the drudgery of ES math pays off when it attention is freed up for the next task at hand. Anyway, that's what worked for my son after 4th.[/quote]
