[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to be that parent, but my rising 2nd grader worked on problems like this over the summer. They were in a puzzle/logic book. This can't be 6thg grade math, c'mon US Math standards can't be this low.[/quote]

And my 6yo can do this easily in his head but can't read or throw a ball well or do many other things that other 6yos have talent in.  And other people's 4yos taught themselves to read and still others can throw so well they can pitch to a batter.  All our kids have strengths and weaknesses, no need to look for an opportunity to brag about your kids strengths when it has nothing to do with the question ask.[/quote]

She is above average, she is no math genius. This is not an algebra problem, this is a simple logic problem that can be drawn out. They covered fractions in first grade, so she knows what a half is. It blows my mind that this is not being covered until 6th grade, the average kid can absolutely do this work earlier.[/quote]

I would love to know where they cover fractions in first grade.  They are introducing them in 3rd at my school.  [/quote]

Inexpensive Parochial School. They introduced them in K and covered more in Grade 1.[/quote]

Give me a break.  No f'ing way they were doing fractions in K.[/quote]

DP. Very much depends on the school. My daughter went to Montessori, and yes was introduced to fractions by K (might have been earlier). She was not taught operations involving fractions until later.

However, OP very specifically said that she's looking for grade level where these sort of problems are introduced, which is typically not K or 1st grade. These are usually introduced in the context of ratios, and since it involves fractional operations, others are correct that it's likely at least a 5th grade problem.[/quote]
