[quote=Anonymous]I have a super smart and accelerated math kid that really struggled in precalc. We are a year out and he’s doing great again. According to him (I don’t remember this math content at all to comment), in trig/precalc they problems are very very long and time consuming and there are many new rules and formulas you have to remember and do in the correct order. The content to memorize is so much deeper than Alg I. So I do believe there probably isn’t anything wrong with her basic algebra or geometry skills. Math just gets very hard and complicated after geometry. But I think it is time for her to work smarter, not harder. This isn’t a lack of effort issue. She is putting energy into the wrong places. Get her a tutor that can help narrow down where her problems are and teach her them- rather than her spending hours and hours pouring over her text book and trying to self teach. [/quote]
