a lot of people on dcurbanmom feel the need to attack those with kids who are smart. it's weird.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What about those kids who already recognize numbers up to 1000 at three? I have one. [/quote]

Does the child have a true sense of what "1000" is?  Recognizing the numeral is not the same as understanding the number.[/quote]

Why cannot you accept the fact some kids do get it?[/quote][/quote]

[b]What I don't get is why EVERY kid mentioned on DCUM is advanced.  Are there no average children?  [/b][/quote]

I actually think it was an honest question, not an attack. Just like many kids that can read in K lack comprehension of what they just read. And that's okay.  So does your child really understand what 1,000 means? Or just recognizes the number?[/quote]

I posted the bold above (as a NP in this conversation).  It was a sincere question.  My kid can't count to 1000.  And she's a  level 2 reader in K.  Are we the only ones??

My current kindergartner can count by tens to 1000, but could not recognize it written out.  I believe the common core standards meet her needs well.  Her school uses singapore math which is slow and steady.  Emphasis should be put on solidifying these math foundations.[/quote]
