DS5 (probably 2E/waiting for assessment/no IEP/attends small private school) is starting timed math tests at school. The idea is do to 57 problems in three minutes. I am not sure he could write 57 random numerals in three minutes. He has to really think about how each number is formed. He often says the HWT trick as he is writing like "Six is a little animal that crawls down his burrow, curls up and bumps his bottom on the line"
I am trying to figure out the best way to approach this with him and with the school. I know these things are going to be a part of the school experience for the foreseeable future.
Maybe doing the test worksheet but not timed so he can practice writing the numerals and then the three minute drill with some flash cards?
I just don't want it to be such a negative frustrating experience that it sets him up for hating this kind of test.
The teachers are willing to work with me on a reasonable accommodation.
Any suggestions?
