I totally agree that if DC goes back to the past chapter/book, DC probably cannot answer immediately. . .
It's been literally years since we started the intro books.

"Do not skip any question" -- We are trying, but in our case, [b]some challenge Qs (one or two per chapter) are impossible to solve even if we look at answers.[/b]

We will focus on reinforcing foundation/having fun with the next book, and then think about the next step.  We still have 2+ years before finishing middle school, and studying ahead too much is unnecessary.

This is ok, it's by design. There are a few challenge questions (usually the starred ones at the end) that are very difficult. I would say it's worth at least giving them an attempt, especially if the kid is interested. But as they're generally significantly harder than most of the material in the book as well as the initial challenge questions, it's totally ok to give hints as needed, or skip if realizing they cannot make progress on them. That said, I wouldn't skip all the challenge questions; you should certainly have your child try the first half of the challenge set and hopefully he can do some of them, especially if given the provided hints.[/quote]
