[quote=Anonymous]It mostly evens out around second grade. My kid was like yours - we played a lot of math games, we baked halving and doubling recipes, I had her compare prices per ounce at the supermarket, count change, etc. She loved playing Rummikub (still does, in 7th grade). I had her read labels, find information in books and on Google and Wikipedia, etc. We started playing map games too - I got a puzzle of the US and I taught her N, E, S, W and then would say things like "Okay, what state is two states North of Florida?" "What state is one state south and two states east of Oregon?" I wrote out directions on how to get places we commonly went and had her read the directions, and lead me there. Challenge at home. Think of school as teaching "how to be a student" and "how to socialize with all sorts of people." [/quote]
