[quote=Anonymous]My kid has the same problem, and so did I. We are both dyslexic, so it isn't surprising. The thing to remember is that being able to memorize math facts has no relationship to your kid's ability to do and understand math. But your kid (and my kid) will need accomodations to be able to keep up in math, because if they have to calculate 7x6 each time it comes up they will be too slow to work through complicated problems. But a calculator will make the problem practically go away. My kid found out that Siri can answer all multiplication questions and that blew him away. :-) He also is allowed to have the multiplication table in front of him while doing his homework or work in class, so while he is slower than others he isn't totally stuck. Good luck, OP! Oh, and I was the same as your kid - I still don't have my facts down. And yet I completed high level stats classes in grad school and work with data for a living.[/quote]
