Does he like computer games? DS7 (2nd grade) has come a long way on multiplication tables this summer playing Timez Attack

Big Brainz actually should put DS on the payroll, because I think he's about discovered every bug and glitch possible on this game while playing it.

I totally know what you mean about the writing and dragging the feet on this stuff. DS is the same. I am starting to rethink math for him now that we will be homeschooling. He absolutely HATES the writing involved in more involved math problems. He actually did well in 1st grade on timed adding tests, so maybe he will come around on that. It is nice being fast, but I never was and I have a degree in math. Not to mention, I hated arithmetic in elementary school. So I don't have much wisdom, but I can sympathize!
