My son spent years wrestling with math.
Of course—if he could hardly make out the numbers.
I didn’t make him memorize the facts,
But gave him a paper with all the answers in a grid,
For him to find for himself, every time.
It took a while, but he could locate them.
I tried a few programs, and finally settled on
A program I had initially discarded, Math-U-See.
(I didn’t like how the program taught fractions.)
We started almost at the beginning,
But he had already spent four years or so learning math,
So I let him progress at his pace . . . Rapidly.
What a relief to hear this decision absolutely confirmed.
Right program, right approach,
And with vision correction, perhaps soon even grade level.
