Insulin Errors at school

My (7 year old) daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 last October.  The school has an aide in the health room which is very good emotionally to my child; however, there are continuous errors in the insulin injections.  I have attempted to simplify the math, but the factors are different on gym days v. non gym days - etc.  I am finding that the basic math is where most of the errors happen.  I have sent a calculator.....  I need some suggestions.  I have looked into the pump; however, the doctors want her to be at least 9 yrs old before pumping.

I am not a physician but the mom of type one diabetic that has been on a pump since she was 7 1/2, after being a diabetic for 2 years.
We also had a problem in school; we have an endocrinologist that believes in the pump.  We had our nurse trained at the time by the pump rep on how to use the pump and how to do everything so that everyone was comfortable.  I know most pump companies; (WE use Minimed) will do this.  It was the best move we made.  

I do know that there are kids around here as young as 2 on the pump.  I would suggest have a talk with your doctor and insist on the pump, If he still refuses, see if there is another endocrologist in the area that has the same feelings that you do.  I have friends that have switched endocrinologist because they did not treat the child as a child first and a diabetic second,or had the same feelings on how to treat the child as the parent.

As for the math in school, I would ask to speak to the aide
