The following question is from Barbara R.
“My friend’s son is a kinesthetic/experiential learner who is very, very bright but “extremely math impaired” (their term). He has been accepted to the college of his choice with a full scholarship pending being able to complete/pass algebra.
Math has been an issue since he was very young. His mother was able to figure out strategies to teach him basic math and geometry but hasn’t been able to get her mind around kinetic/experiential strategies for doing so with algebra.”
