“There is hope. If you can, get a Saxon Math book off the internet that is appropriate to your child’s understanding of Math.”
TOTALLY concur on Saxon. Every parent needs to do this, ESPECIALLY if their child’s ‘wonderful’ school is using Everyday Math.
Saxon Math was horrble for my daughter with speech problems and a brain injury. It was too wordy and used strange vocabulary.
She managed with it in 4th and 5th grade, but by 6th it took way too long.
I think it may be ok to use as a reference for homeschooling, but not in the classroom.
Since going back to normal math, my daughter is once again doing well in math.
My husband and I are engineers, and when our kids were little we used to teach them math. My daughters first grade math teacher got upset with me because I was teaching them negative numbers. She thought it would mess them up. I ignored her. They understood it quickly,
