  I can never remember if that’s dysgraphia or dyscalcula but you’re not alone having that. My wife has it too and muscled through somehow (she’s very smart). When she was getting her credential she taught herself mathematics up through high school trigonometry despite failing algebra 3 times in undergrad. (long story short, we are both very sleepy and she wanted to do it independently. So instead of downloading the practice test module for elementary teachers she downloaded the module for high school mathematics teachers. Whoopsie doodle. She’d come get help every time she’d get stuck and I’d tutor her through some of the more difficult concepts (not my first time being a math tutor). Her student teaching was in a fifth grade class where they were doing basic polynomial factoring so like, they are teaching kids way more advanced shit at younger ages nowadays than they did when I was in school. Hence why we didn’t catch that maybe it was the wrong module until trig and logarithmic functions.
