[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know many parents don't supplement at home based on their beliefs and that is great.

If you do supplement, please share what you do. The reason I am curious about this is because my 1st grader gets pulled for enrichment math every day. There are four other kids who also get pulled. The worksheets these kids are given (and work independently) sometimes say "5th-6th grade" (other times, they are logic puzzles).  If x=5 and y=24, what is x/4xy.

I knew my daughter could do these problems, but I was suprised to learn that there were four other kids who were at this level.

Parents do not talk about supplementing AT ALL, even though we see each other a lot.

A lot of kids in our first grade class supplemented quite a bit with math. Other kids were just naturally good enough at it that they could figure it out like your kid. We too had to learn that our DD wasn’t the uniquely gifted snowflake we thought she was once she got to elementary school. Most kids did Kumon or Russian School of Math. Some did the online Khan Academy. [/quote]

Based on OP’s post, I don’t think you can infer that OP’s kid is naturally good at learning or that they don’t supplement. OP is just curious how parents supplement.

Also I’ve had in person conversations about this topic, so that may be just the case with OP, parents not talking about supplementing.
