Jill - my kids use their dad!!! lol
Trin - those are good ideas. I've been having some success with that with Mite with addition and subtraction. His other limitation is that he KNOWS and has a lot of it in rote, but sometimes he'll still fall back on the fingers. Then his little fingers don't move right--he counts them against his chin--and he'll double count 1 or drop 1 in the process and get it all wrong.
We let him use a multiplication chart while munching on the trees. He still likes square roots and DH has given him lots of things to do with those.
But still, wouldn't it be nice if we could just plug them in and charge them up!!!
