My grandson has take the aim course it worked wonders for us. we are now in pre-algebra. when we do work A and B he does well. Then when we get to the review sheets D and E he gets into a forgotten mode. I have notice one thing when he has several steps to get to an answer he seems to get confused. I written the steps out for him, it helps some. He had this same problem when we did division. he has been doing theraphy. we have our hopefully the last appointment at the end of the month. He was suppose to has his eyes examine in july, but the doctor wanted him to wait until October. We are not happy about this.So, we will see haow things change after octer 27, 2020.
Hi Faith – I have a couple of thoughts for you about the review sheets. You said YOU are writing out the steps for him. By the time you get to PreAlgebra, a student should be advocating for themselves at how they learn best. It is often a bumpy transition for students, especially boys. I would encourage him to look up and write out the steps for himself so that he can begin to internalize the process.
You also mentioned a potential vision issue, and if binocular vision is a mitigating factor, it can and will affect how he recalls the details of a multi-step problem. This makes the necessity for his own advocacy even more important. I would encourage him to not just write out the steps for himself but to verbalize them, out loud, as language is another learning path for his brain.
Since you had success with AIM for Addition and Subtraction, I am certain you are aware of the need to keep proficiency with those memorized facts, but let me say for another parent who might be reading this, that KEEPING that proficiency, with periodic practice of the memorized facts is essential as the mathematics becomes more complex. Fact recall is mental muscle memory, and you have to keep exercising those muscles to keep the skills sharp.
