My boy has the teachers exasperated because he can do the math yet he
a. doesn't read the questions properly
b. is careless
As a result his grades are rubbish! And in his exams he can't just be told "read the question" or asked "is that a 0 or a 6"
He is just about to start his final year in junior school and he has exams to pass to progress - and the high school is really suited to his needs. They are not going to admit him unless there is a vast improvement.
I am thinking of getting maths questions and going over, and over, and over....not to have him do them but to find out what he thinks they are asking him for. Apart from that I don't know what to do - we have come so far (see my other posts) and this seems to be the final hurdle (educationally alt least).
I need some good suggestions pdq - he can't be the only one to have this problem.
