[quote=Anonymous]My DD, now 5th grade, was the same with the finger counting, no math facts, etc. I do blame the loss of learning during COVID because she was just too young to learn on an app. However, because she is still middle of the pack, teachers dismissed my concerns. And iReady scores are showing the same. I think unless your child is actually in the bottom quarter of the class, no school is going to do anything to help get your kid where it sounds like you want them. I decided to double down on math facts and got Kumon books for the grade level below and it has made a big difference. Still thinking about Mathnasium but my award system so far gets the worksheets done for way less time and money. If it is true that DCPS is buying into fact fluency that would be great. Our school is slow to roll that out and I have seen how my older child (in middle school now) really could not get the work he needs to do done without knowing math facts. [/quote]
