[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To PP, for the math problems, the ones he gets are like this: 38956734 X 345 He asks for challenging problems from the teacher and the teacher gives it to him. He loves math.[/quote] This is not a challenging problem. Once you've mastered the algorithm, churning out more digits is trivial. If he wants challenge, the teacher should be giving him word problems that require him to figure out which techniques he needs to use to solve a problem. Math puzzles like cryptarithms are also good. (I'm criticizing the teacher, not your son, in case that needs to be said.)[/quote] True, but the child would have to know multiplication facts...and my second grader knows some by heart (2s, 3s, 4s, 10s, and 11s) but not all by any means.[/quote]
