Hi Peachy...
Any tips or advice really gratefully received.
ds2 6.8 is as bright as a button, verbally really fantastic and has learnt to read well with synthetic phonics. His writing is pretty atrocious but his maths....
most numbers are back to front and mirror images
he's really struggling to count, usually when he hits the next 10, so 38,39,.......can't attempt backwards
I think he might just have counting in 10's, 5 is a problem but is really struggling with 2's.
School is useless, am moving him in Sept, new school immediately said dyscalculia, see your GP, who agrees.
Have been sending him to a tutor, who is lovely and plays lots of games with counting and number bonds. I'm struggling to help him as he gets really angry with me...What's so frustrating is that one day he'll seem to have it, and the next time he's completely forgotten it all
What can I do to make it easier for him?
