One of our kids did not get math, starting from way back, I imagine. The other did, similar to me.

Most of the time through school (Jr high and HS), I could look at stuff and get the right answer. I didn't always know how/why, but I did.

When I was older and our kids were older, I learned to use a Japanese abacus. I think most kids should be taught how to use an abacus, especially the kids that have a tough time with math. It may not work for all of them, but it's another way of visualizing and working with numbers at a basic level. I feel like it might help some of those folks as it really breaks them down to basic building blocks, and I suspect if they learned, it would help them later as they got into higher (algebra) primary school type stuff.
