[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have recommendations for trying to work ahead in math?  My daughter just started kindergarten this year, and the Eureka workbook she received seems pretty basic.  I totally get that they are teaching to get kids up to a minimum standard, but given that my daughter can handle it, I’m interested in going ahead.  I’d like to do so intelligently if possible.

Thanks![/quote]
My goodness! Please tell me this is a troll post.[/quote]

Probably not. The intelligent thing to do is let her be a kid. She’s in kindergarten for god’s sake.  She has plenty of time to get ahead. [/quote]

I’ve gotten enough comments like this that I’ll respond, although I’m sure I shouldn’t.

Of course we let her be a kid.  My daughter loves doing academic stuff for fun.  My son doesn’t, and I don’t encourage him to.  I don’t think my daughter is unusual or exceptional at all.  She has almost finished the Eureka book without any nudging from me (just help reading it).  I’m not a math-science person myself but I thought encouraging them to pursue different things that they enjoy was normal.

All that said, I appreciate the comments that working “ahead” may not be the right framing.[/quote]
