[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your child participate in the AMC program (8 or 10 ... whatever grade he is in)?  Also some great online math contests.  [/quote]

Are you the PP ? My child is in 2nd grade, is strong in logic , visual spatial concepts and geometry ie can do 8th grade word problems,in pre-k would offer that 9  could just as easily be made with -1 plus 10 as 4+5,but was never taught at home and  has never been taught beyond 2nd grade EDM in school( currently that means one digit subtraction without carry over) and never tutored .Seems what is being taught now in 2nd grade is same as what was taught in pre-K I want to find a mentor for him;someone who will channel his long attention span and quick grasp of concepts so that he can get excited about learning. most of what he knows he seems to have taught himself and I think someone who can self teach should have a tutor in the old sense of the word: someone to tailor the lessons to his ability alone and challenge him and encourage him to take risks. I could not care less about grades, ERB scores or placement. I just want him to be exposed to elements of math that he grabs onto and likes.Same as if he was out in the back every day kicking around a soccer ball, I'd find him a field , a team and a coach.[/quote]
