finger counting to do math ? | ADHD Information

Share

DS8 uses his fingers for math.  how did you transition your child from that method to a memorization or logic method?

i don't know...but my 9 year old dd still does this to some extent.  i've heard it's common among this age-both adhd and non adhd kids, so i've tried not to worry about it.  having said that, my daughter did well on her report card as a whole this quarter...but did poor on math minute tests, she can't do math facts fast in a minute/when timed.

My ds is almost 12 and ADHD and he is still using his fingers.
