my son was the same way, the teacher hated me, lol. but I learned that he was bored so I made it into a fun thing. Since your son loves race cars then maybe put same cars that you 2 draw and color and then number them 1-10 and see if he notices, it might take a few days but I know he can do it. He just wants a challenge. My son is in 3rd grade for the 2nd time because the teachers say he needs a.d.d. meds. and he doesnt have a.d. he is bored.

No. We did not have kindergarten in our town either. I was born in October, so I was too young to start school the first year, and started when I was 7. Our older daughter had to go to private kindergarten which was in a church, and the woman who ran it was the wife of the Fire Chief whom we already knew, so she had a very good experience. When our younger daughter started kindergarten, they had it in the public schools. She did not want to go at all, and the newspaper took a picture of her clinging to me and crying. I still have that picture. I had to go to work that day, but just worked half a day until my children were old enough to walk down the street from school and stay with an older lady up the street. She taught them a lot of things like making Jacob's ladder, playing checkers, and they played with her granddaughter outside in the yard. They never will forget that. She was a Senior Citizen, and it helped her and my daughters as well.

You are asking a little advanced math for a kindergartener. He should work on counting only right now and get them in proper sequence. To count by 5's and 10's is a bit abstract for his age and you are just confusing him which will put him back even further. Have him count and identify numbers in proper sequence in print and also from memory. then have him start writing the numbers in sequence. Also practice reading the numbers in sequence out loud ...This is all he should have to work with right now. make it fun....have him count pennies or small candies and tell him he can keep as many as he can count to correctly.

Sometimes I think kids just want attention, if he notcies the more he messes up the more attention he gest from you, he might keep doing it. Maybe he didn't feel like he got enough of your attention, && being a mom you have a 24/7 job so you might do it without noticing, so maybe all he wants is a little more attention from you!

He may be dyslexic....Dyslexic people are visual, multi-dimensional thinkers. We are intuitive and highly creative, and excel at hands-on learning. Because we think in pictures, it is sometimes hard for us to understand letters, numbers, symbols, and written words.
