I didn't know if this was the right place to put this, but I thought it might get more views here.

I am using this with my special needs son. I bought it hoping it would help him to not need so much of my help. well, I was wrong. He has attention problems and algebra has so many steps that he looses his way. I notice him dazing off in space instead of listening to the lecture, so he must be missing a few steps. He also doesn't pay attention to his signs and gets wrong answers that way too. Does anyone have a suggestion about algebra for children with attention problems? I don't mean a new curriculum, just maybe a way we can master this. I don't have time to sit with him for every problem because he needs help with most things and I have 5 other children to help.
