[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ADHD kid with an IEP kid is in 3rd grade and is still adding and subtracting with his fingers.  Most of the comments are on multiplication, but I am starting to get worried.  Do you teachers think this is an issue that I should raise with the school.  We have a tutor and are doing everything we can at home.

By the way, does anyone know any good, fun kindle apps for learning math facts.[/quote]

I don't know an app but print off the addition tables.

Hang it on the wall and mark off what he knows. I would guess he knows 0, 1, 10.
Then work on doubles 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, etc. (you will mark the diagnol)
Then work on "best friends" ... they add up to 10 so 1+9, 2+8, 3+7. (When you are in the car you say who is 6's best friend, the answer is 4... 10 is the majic number for so many reasons) (Then you have marked the diagnol the other way.)
Then do the 9's ... it is one less than the 10's 9+4 is 14-1=13 or you can say you put a 1 and then the number that is one less 3, 13. (looks better if you write it out)
9+2=11
9+3=12

then work on what is left which is not much and then keep emphasizing you know so much.
