[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3rd grader is good in math but she has never done any addition or subtraction drills and I see her counting on her hands.  My older child, in 5/6 compacted, did have math drills.  [/quote]

Not so in my dc's case.  Did multiplication drills in 3rd last year.  Teacher sent home flash cards to practice at home.  They did these multiplication games in class where you had to be quick to answer to win the game, basically, math drills.  My 1st grader does addition and subtraction worksheets, and each week they take a little quiz on these worksheets.  Dc doesn't use fingers.  Hasn't done that since K.  I'm thinking your 3rd grader is not as good in math as you think.  [/quote]

Hey genius, do you think it's possible your child does better in math because he/she was properly taught via drills and rote memorization?  Telling someone their child is not as smart as they think is unneccessary and makes you look like an ass.[/quote]

Thanks! [/quote]
