That sounds like a hallmark of giftedness, actually ("hard problems are easy, and easy problems are hard").
DS was pretty much exactly like that in first grade (average PSI, off-the-charts everything else). He can write short sentences easily, though long ideas he has a hard time with. We're getting him into keyboarding now, and we think that will ultimately help the speed issue.
He gets conceptual math easily but had an awful time learning combinations of 20.
