[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 44027, member: 179"] Sheila, Math is a tricky devil. I was HORRIBLE at it from about grade 6 on. It wasn't until college that it 'clicked.' I have been teaching math now for 21 years. Keep in mind that your brain is like any other organ in your body. Everyone developes at a different rate. He's at that age when you switch from concrete to abstract thought patterns. For some, it happens early...others (like me) it took awhile. It doesn't mean you're 'dumb,' it just means you haven't reached that point yet. It's like asking a newborn to walk when they haven't developed the skills to do so yet. (I'm hopping off my teacher podium right now.) [img]:smile:[/img] Abbey [/QUOTE]
