[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt this is it. [b]In first grade, the problem is that many kids can do addition and subtraction in their heads.[/b] They don't want to draw circles and count them. They understand math already. This happens whether you supplement or not. Very few K or 1st grade that I've ever encountered in this area are just learning how to county and do basic addition/subtract at this age. Heck our Montessori preschool did this with 3 and 4 year olds. They did fine but once they hit MCPS they have to wait until 3rd grade to learn anything new. [/quote] That's interesting. Just the other day, I was reading right here on DCUM that 8 + _ = 10 was too hard for first-graders.[/quote] I completely disagree with that - definitely not too hard for 1st graders (I have a 1st grader).[/quote]
