Does my child have poor concentration or poor performance?

The son of our reader often twists the numbers when doing arithmetic. The mother asks: Does the child have problems concentrating or is there a partial lack of performance behind it? Our experts disagree.

Full concentration: You can practice working carefully and yet quickly.

Parent question: Does my child have poor concentration or poor performance?

I have a question about concentration and attention or whether there is something else behind it. My son mixed up (but not always – only again and again) the numbers. For example, there is 65 – then it can happen that if he z. B. in the test in a hurry – instead of 65 registered the number 56 and takes this as the basis for calculation. For example, 65: 7 – then results in 8, since he assumes or calculates 56: 7 in the head. If you point this out to him, he will recognize it immediately.
