Because if the severity of my son's LD, his efforts have always focused in coping and surviving math class, but that has changed this year mid-way through 7th grade. While he still does not have his times tables memorized, his dysgraphia and dyslexia seem to have far less effect in him.
He expressed over the break that he is frustrated that they just keep re-learning the same material in his regular math class while the kids in gifted are learning new material. He said if he doesn't keep up with them, he'll never catch up and never get the same opportunities in high school.
Now that he is expressing the need/desire to push forward, I'd like to find some online or app resources that teach higher concepts of math that he could use to teach himself. Ideally they would be heavier on the concepts than on the rote mechanics, so that he can learn the concepts without getting bogged down with the challenges of his LD's.
Do any of you have suggestions or resources you've used?
I recently discovered he taught himself Klingon online, so I'm thinking this would be a more productive use of his time,,,
