Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 119: Adrianne Meldrum on Dealing with Math Struggles Faced by Differently Wired Kids · 31 Jul 2018 podcast

They're they're learning everything from how to add and subtract, you know, multiply, divide, how to do fractions, those kinds of things, the place value system.

And a lot of it's more um, you know, you'll see math manipulatives in the classroom and things like that that are going on.

And they're trying to build this number sense.

And by the time they reach fifth grade,

Every educator has to just assume um when they go into sixth grade that they've got this, they have this number since and I know

That is not what happened.

And so they get to sixth grade and on top of having to change classrooms, uh, keep track of different expectations from various teachers, they're going into a sixth grade classroom, having to learn new information and the teacher has to assume

They know all the basics and they can go forward teaching the new.

And the fact is they aren't prepared.

They're not ready.

And so many of my students, when they come and find me, they're two to three grade levels behind.

And so a lot of my time is spent filling in those gaps and going back and giving them rich multi-sensory experiences so that the math coming at them is easier.

And so it just tends to fall apart.

And if I can, like I said earlier, capture them in sixth grade, things go a whole lot better.

But if we wait till they're sophomore or junior, it is a hard sell.

They are so damaged and beat up inside about their math abilities, it's really difficult to get in there and make a change.

And so we're pretty intense during those sixth and seventh grade years.

And then we stay on usually with students to help them.

But as I said, that we're the anchor for them and they know that we already understand how their brain works and so they rely on us to help them get through.

all of the math years ahead of them.
