[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 78594, member: 3704"] Our difficult child has always had the same reluctance about showing his work in math. But the key component to Algebra, Geometry, Trig, and Calculus is the process - not necessarily the product. Proofs are what higher mathematics are all about. The math teacher knows that it is vital that all of their students learn the process of writing a proof in order to "do the work". A sld such as Dyscalcula(sp?) could make someone have great difficulty with this process. Otherwise, it just might be an unwillingness to slow down and show the process. (Our difficult child thinks it is boring). The discipline of mathematics is very rigid, and I'm afraid that this bridge must be crossed. Sometimes an older student can assist with this in tutoring. difficult child worked with a couple of tutors from a local university and it was enormously helpful! They could accomplish what dear old Mom and Dad couldnt. [/QUOTE]
