On cleaning:
The only way he can clean a room is to push everything into one big pile in the center of the room and then pull categories out of the pile. Pulling categories out of the scattered room is not an option. It has to be in one big pile, which is fine with me so as long as it gets done.
This is what I meant by his "way." You have to figure out what works for

I feel you on the writing math down. We finally got DS graph paper, because he struggled so with keeping the numbers in order. Another technique is to turn lined paper sideways so it creates columns. However, neither of those interventions help when the problem is that the child thinks he knows more than he does...
