Ok,
so my 12 year old, gifted son is really struggling in math.[...] 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.
Can you say a bit more about how his struggle is showing up and what kind of conceptual trouble he has? Is it that he can do a question type to get his 2-3 questions right, but then can't do the same question type when he gets it in an assessment? Or is he progressing through ALEKS but unengaged, or what? What kind of thing is he not retaining?
