Go over the basics with him again, and again. I bet the teachers rushed him through fractions/percentages.
I was taught math, and was a C student through high school. I relearned everything I didn't know in high school, in one semester at a community college.
In math, you know the answer, or you don't understand how to get there. Math should be pass/fail. It's different than the other subjects.
I don't believe most of my grade/middle school American teachers (mine) truely understood what they were teaching.
- itronitron 5y agoI feel like middle school is the worst age range to be teaching/learning pre-Algebra and Algebra. My experience was that teachers just expected students to either teach themselves or blindly follow and repeat the steps one by one. Geometry and trigonometry seem like they would be a better fit for that age range.
