[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids with ASDS who are bright often show strong math skills when they are younger, because they have strong computation skills. They struggle when they get to the higher maths, because it requires math reasoning as much as raw computational ability. If your child is struggling with the math reasoning required by Common Core, then he is gifted at computation, but that isn't going to translate as gifted at math as he gets older and the work gets more complicated. If he is good at math, not just computation, then he needs to work on his math reasoning and his verbal skills related to math to be truly employable. You aren't doing this kid any favors by allowing him to slide by on his weak areas and not challenging him to work harder. /Mom of an 11 year with an ASD[/quote] Not true. My college age son is still doung great in calculus, etc. He is dysgraphic so CC nath would be horrid for him[/quote]
