One thing I’m curious about with homeschooling math is how parents tell when a concept has really clicked.

A kid can finish a lesson, get the answers right, and still be leaning pretty heavily on examples, hints, or help along the way.

The part that seems harder to judge is: could they solve a slightly different version of the same problem on their own tomorrow?

For parents homeschooling middle schoolers, what do you usually look for before you feel like a topic is actually understood?

Do you have them explain it back to you, give them a different problem, revisit it a few days later, or just move on if the lesson went well?

Currently down around 150k with average hovering around 65. Should I cut the losses and move on or do you guys think it will rebound ?
