[quote=Anonymous][quote]interesting. My child struggles mightily with math facts. We have little poems, rubrics, etc., for each one. I try to keep it light, make it fun. On sheer calculations, he's going to fail, be behind, not finish the test. But lately the class has moved on to geometric patterns, geometrical figures, spatial reasoning. And he's doing so well. Suddenly he's scoring at the top of the class. He's great at problem solving, figuring out the answers without knowing the math fact. He still struggles with 8x3, 9x3, 9x4, etc. but he's writing a computer program right now for fun. He will most likely be in the lowest math track next year due to the math facts. Seems so stupid. [/quote] Look into accommodation (e.g., more time, open book formats, calculators and computers) for his math classes and exams including PSAT and SAT.[/quote]
