[QUOTE="Martie, post: 97196, member: 284"] Sheila, I think math problems have to main sources: poor teaching (and poor student motivation) and underlying processing deficits. Mostly schools focus on reading problems but when math becomes more abstract, the deficits in processing are harder to compensate for. In general, there is less stigma associated with math problems than reading. Therefore, lot of kids "slip through" with math skills well below reading skills and the school is still focused on reading. Thank you for posting this information. Martie [/QUOTE]
