I tried to get him to sit with me and look at the practice stuff over the weekend. No luck. But I did get him to sit and listen long enough to learn more about place value and carrying for addition. When it started to click I could the "ah-ah" going on and his eyes got all bright - it was the spark that was missing. He says again that he doesn't want to do "that easy math homework." But doesn't want to think either! Maybe at school would be good. I'm going to try again at home though. I'd prefer to see him more motivated and independent in navigating the program before I ask the school. Thanks for the input.
Dottie, you hit it right about the frustration. He just hates it when something doesn't come instantly and won't hardly spend 10 minutes on thinking unless HE initiates it!
