Maths help please!

I'm the same,year 10 ds who just doesn't get maths. We got him a tutor all through lockdown but that didnt help and son said it was a waste of money.He is working at a 3 in gcse.
My other son didnt pass gcse maths a few years ago. It can't be the school as my daughter did pass.
Its frustrating but then I didnt pass either,nor my parents! I'm currently taking son around colleges to look at courses,so many out there so I'm trying not to worry.

@Atomsaway £80 a week! Wow!
Happy for you to DM me- mainstream SEN Maths is one of my favourite subjects to talk about and problem solve!

If you can get them motivated, there are loads of resources on the internet, such as Corbett Maths, who do YouTube videos and you can print off worksheets. If they've struggled at year 9 Maths, go back a couple of years to see if they can cope with year 7 level. Concentrate on the basics, i.e. basic fractions, basic percentages, long multiplication, long division, solving VERY simple equations, prime numbers, etc. If they struggle with year 7 level, then go back a couple of years to primary year 5. It's well worth going back to where they started to struggle!

School maths moves very quickly and if you're not confident with the fundamental basics, you're basically wasting your time trying to do the more complicated stuff, as everything comes back to the basics. It's like a tree or a house - if the roots/foundations aren't sound and secure, the tree/house will be unstable and fall down.

Slightly different, but our DS was a whizz at Maths in primary and year 7 secondary, but struggled with year 8 and ended up with a very low score in the end of year 8 tests as he was completely lost and out of his depth. We printed off Corbett Year 8 worksheets and sat with him to watch you tube videos over the Summer holidays going right through the year 8 topics again, and he hit the ground running at the start of year 9 virtually top of the class, and never struggled again in later years. In fact he's just going to graduate from Uni with a first in Maths!

Far better to go back to a time when they were coping and then moving forward again having tackled the bits they didn't master the first time around. It makes learning new/more complicated topics more manageable.

Could he have dyscalculia?

Is dyscalculia the real issue here? The dyslexia might be causing him to struggle with word problems and multi step problems. And the adhd disrupting his focus. But if he has dyscalculia that’s another problem again.

Can he visualise a basic maths problem? Sometimes learning to think of problems visually really helps

No experience with someone of your son’s age, but have a look at the BBC resources - just go to their website and search for Maths. They have a few interesting looking resources on there.
Also search you tube. I have worked with older students and sometimes having someone totally different present the problems on line, makes enough of a difference.
Good luck.

Can you look for a tutor that specialises in kids with those conditions? They may have different teaching methods which are a better fit.
