[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yesterday, my kindergartener came home with a math worksheet that had the following problems on it: 18-7= ?; 23-12= ?, 16-5 = ? My kindergarten experience consisted of drinking punch, rest, practicing counting and playing house. [/quote] My specialty is not early childhood development, but I wouldn't expect the typical 5-6-year-old to have difficulty with the idea that if you have 16 acorns, and someone takes away 5 acorns, how many acorns will you have left?[/quote] It is obvious that your specialty is not ECD, as [b]23-12 is not a developmentally appropriate math problem for kindergarten[/b]. But here we are. [/quote] Why isn't it? My kid was definitely doing 23-12 (and the like) in kindergarten without any difficulty. She's now in sixth grade and is not any kind of notable math genius. So evidently at least some kindergartners are capable of doing such math problems.[/quote]
