LizzyBee Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 One of the recommendations for my kids was that they be allowed to use charts and flash cards that show the steps in multi-step problems. Can you just do it and don't tell dh? Don't lie to him, just don't mention it. I thought my middle child would never learn her math facts. We used Times Tales and that helped quite a bit. I also finally gave her a multiplication table to use during math. Just from seeing and using that table every day, she nailed her multiplication facts after a few months. Another thing that helped was triangle flash cards that I printed from http://www.donnayoung.org. The factors and answer are on the same side of the card, because visual learners (most dyslexics are visual learners) need to see all 3 parts at the same time.

sixpence1978 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 My DD has trouble with memorization. She is only just doing addition and subtraction for now. I can drill and drill and give her little solving strategies, but they never really work. What does work for her (and I have used it my whole life as well) is touch math. I know there is a method for using it with multiplication and division as well, but I never learned it. It helps because you count up for addition, count down for subtraction, and always get the right number even if your memory is failing you.
