[quote=Anonymous]Help! My kid is very bored with the daily math work they are doing (in class and for HW). Yes, it's only the first month. But they are doing the most basic stuff - counting from 1-120, greater than/less than, counting by tens, and repeat, repeat, repeat. DS truly loves numbers and is complaining daily that he wants to do more "real math" -- addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Some fractions. A little geometry.

I am being respectful and not contacting the teacher but sincerely wonder what to do for DS. Last year, our K teacher gave DS extra work on the side, but I'm not sure how that happened (I did not push for it, DS just started coming home with a new folder one day and she later told me it was just to keep him interested and moving at a faster pace). I can see him losing interest and it concerns me.

Does anyone with older kids in MC schools know how this is handled? They have moved all of the kids into reading groups, but I haven't been able to glean anything about math. I want to work well with the system, but keep him motivated and enjoying school.

Any ideas welcome. TIA![/quote]
