Ok,
so my 12 year old, gifted son is really struggling in math.
He was tested (not with my blessing) and was determined to have an IQ off the chart whatever that means. He has the typical gifted social issues but has found an accepting clique.
So here is my issue. His school uses ALEKS in Math which is the only non HA class he is in. He struggles with concepts and retention and has mild ADD. I use models, examples, real world applications and he still cannot retain the information. He gets great grades in every other class.
I think the format of ALEKS is lacking in that if the student gets 2-3 correct answers, they move on to the next subject.
Does anyone else have issues with ALEKS and if you do, do you have any suggestions. Thanks
