GS9 does better with the 'easy and/or repetitive' if we can make it into a contest. Memorizing the times tables becomes fun when he's trying to beat his time used for the previous attempt. And, the 'Murderous Maths' books just came in the mail yesterday. I can see now that I'll have to reserve those as rewards for doing the 'easy and/or repetitive', hahaha... if you all didn't understand, you'd think I was sick or evil to give a kid a math book as a reward!
P.S. 'easy and/or repetitive' has to be in short bursts for the time factor to work for GS9. He needs to know it will not drag on forever. I think/hope it's teaching him to attack those boring things and get them out of the way so he can do the fun/challenging things.
