Look into getting your son tested. He is in a good position now, because now the school is required to test children. When I was in 1st/2nd grade I had such issues with math- my mom who is a teacher wanted my tested and it was back when you couldn't be "smart" and have a learning disability. So the district refused to do any tests.
It continued alll the way up to college. I had a panic attack during a calc exam and the college made me see a psyhologist. Turns out, I have Dyscalculia ("number dyslexia"). The whole time I've been struggling and crying my way through math classes, and been fine in all my sciences (well, excpet chem 1 and physics), english, history, etc. I thought I was stupid growing up and it wasn't my fault at all.
Get him tested early so you can see what you are dealing with!!!!
