[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP have you done a conference with the math teacher to get their impression? I would schedule one now and ask about whether special needs might be an issue this sounds like it is beyond what would happen with a crappy curriculum. [/quote]

Why does everyone think OP’s kid has special needs??  Seriously, have you seen the PARCC math scores for poorly performing schools where majority of kids are scoring 1 and 2’s?  They are way, way below grade level.[/quote]

Because the way OP describes herself and husband, one would expect they've been including math instruction throughout the child's life in the daily routine like most parents do: counting things, measuring while cooking, playing games that include math skills, singing the multiplication songs, etc. Most of that gets kids through 3rd grade math no matter what they do in school.

Get out of your bubble.  Parents are busy working, juggling kid and schedules, etc….  Many middle class parents are not doing these things at all or maybe once in a while and multiplication does not come to a kid from doing everyday things.
