[quote=Anonymous] This was my kid- her two years of pre-algebra and one year of algebra were very hard. It didn't help that she attended a small private school with a heavy courseload and rampant grade deflation. She got a 79.4 in Algebra 1 last year. She is now taking geometry at a charter school with less math homework and it finally clicked for her (she has an A-). She never got a formal diagnosis, but I read that it takes dyscalculic kids three years to fully learn the math facts that took their peers a year to learn so it makes sense she needed three years of algebra. I would recommend having a tutor help your child with each assignment-last year my DD met with her tutor twice a week and this year she meets with her about once a month. DD has difficulties with basic math (fractions are tricky and she still needs to Google the formulas for volume/area), but her algebra skills are finally up to par. Problems that involved a graph were super difficult for her two years ago, but she now understands them.[/quote]
