@Afia

Thank you all for your input.
Hareem I’ve tried flash cards and keep trying other ways too…but I guess she needs way more practice than I’d expect.

Southie…it’s not just 9+4… I used that as an example. I meant to say that she is too slow at very basic mathematical operations.

Ehle.. I’m not aware of any such programme here in Pakistan. I did get her enrolled in ALOHA which was a mental maths teaching programme for six months but that ended within four weeks for some odd reasons.
I haven’t given up and as a parent I just can’t give up so I’ll keep trying everything I know and would keep exploring any new ways, inshaAllah!

i dont know how you feel about online education and games but here are a few resources that intrigued me and you might find helpful too.

ok i hear you. im always trying to look up/learn about fun/effective ways to teach my toddler without making it a chore and fa ew things ive bookmarked for myself to be used when she is older. I’ll hold off on sharing links for younger kiddies since your child is older.

khan academy : I learned of this man after he was featured on time magazines 100 most influential people and watched his CNN and PBS interviews. i was really intrigued with his mission/philosopy. His academy is online. its not for profit and free. i have seen/browsed his website and thought it was great! plan to introduce my child(ren) to this when they are old enough.

couple of the above are recommended by my neurology colleagues for pts as part of rehab/treatment for various neurological ailments … but that doesn’t preclude them from being used for educational purposes as well!
