Math Curriculum for Student with Learning Disabilities
My 11yr old DS is great at math. Or at least he was. Math was his favorite until this year when he got into multi-step multiplication problems and long division. When we got his learning disabilities diagnosed a couple of years ago (dyslexia, dysgraphia, probably ADHD) the educational psychologist was impressed with his math skills but mentioned she was interested to see what would happen once he started long division. And now I know. He can not keep track of all the steps he needs to do more complicated math questions. He also can not use a card with instructions to help him remember the steps. And if I sit with him and tell him each step in hopes that repetition will help it sink in he just gets angry.
So, any tips for helping him? Or any curriculum recommendations for next year?
