Hi Kriston. This is a really interesting discussion, and in a lot of ways, I feel like my DS shows a lot of similiar patterns/behavoir.

I think math is a harder thing to just take off on. You can understand concepts, but you really need the notation and the math facts to put it together and solve problems. There are a lot of pieces involved! In reading, you can pick up an adult book and maybe pass over the words that aren't in your vocab yet and finding a meaning from the surrounding text. The same thing is really hard to do with math. Anyway - I don't have any amazing insight here, but I still think you're both doing an amazing job!

Does he have math facts down pretty well? That can make a big difference in confidence and speed for solving more involved problems?
