[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son transferred to a center in 5th, I think we got him a workbook. He never looked at it and was captain of his Math Counts team the next year. I have no idea what math groups he was ever in, although I remember him telling me he wasn't good at math in 1st grade because all the other kids (in China) had tutors and already knew how to multiply and divide. [/quote] If your DC finished 4th grade in China, even average in math, he/she will be light years ahead of 5th graders here. The students here only start to catch up with some other countries' math education in college, not that there is anything wrong with it. Lots of kids in Asian counties start to learn multiplications in preschool as a fact to compete for college entries.[/quote]
