[QUOTE="buddy, post: 479465, member: 12886"] I dont think I would say not to try, but I would say not to harp on it and make all of math ugly for that one issue especially if they can demonstrate that they understand the concept. My son gets the concept but he has tried to learn it for six years. Kids with poor working memory have an especially hard time with this and an accommodation would be appropriate in that case. Q can figure out things in stores, do lapsed time calculations in his head, etc. but to do it on a worksheet and say how he got the answer??? (It is a little backward from many kids especially some kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who can do the math great on paper but can't apply the concepts to real life) Sure, it would make life easier if one could pull those facts out, but in real life it is not essential as long as you can figure out how to get the answer. Just MHO. [/QUOTE]
