Math!!

As usual he had a good morning. Got ready, had breakfast and played in the computer. The time came to be leaving for church. He decided to bring a couple of toys to keep him busy while sitting at church (30m). He found his friend and they sat together. They started to get noisy and finally I gave them paper and pen and they started drawing. He did very well with that! quiet and busy.
Did great at his class and in the way home. After lunch we needed to sit down to finish a math test he had pending. Since I got him off school early on Friday for the eye Dr thing he could not do a math test, so the teacher gave it to me to do home. So we started doing this test...
At first he was doing ok but by the end he had 2 question that required some thinking, like "little Susie spent $3.19 on something then she got $1.50 on this other thing and he had $2.00 left..." he immediately guessed an answer, totally wrong. I asked him to show his work on it and his answer always was.."I did it on my head" it was very clear he made it up and did not wanted to say it. We tried some other problems and he would just make up and answer and shut down!!.

This is not good!!!! he is struggling with addition and tomorrow his class starts with multiplication!. I didn't realize how hard this was for him until now. What makes it worse is that he won't even try. Shuts down and that is the end of it. I need to figure something out!!

Later he went with the girls to a friends house and had a great time. Came back home, had dinner and eventually went to bed. Long day...
