Hahha. They are learning to count to ten not hundred because it’s in a foreign language. They learn to count to 100 in like third grade. And then you can drop out of the program like everyone else when you realize your genius mathematician can’t meet basic on grade level math.
They learn multiplication in 3rd grade. And fractions. Just like every other school in APS. But the SOL is in English, so yes they tend to score lower bc the vocabulary is different. Not because they have weaker math skills.

OP here. Poster, please learn the correct usage of "right vs write." My kid knows numbers into the tens of thousands just by looking at them...
I’m still curious how you know all of this information for your 4 year old.
I’m a different poster . But my kid at 4 was a fluent reader and he loved numbers. He would read biographies and be like “this guy was born in 1922 and died in 1980, so he was 56 when he died!” He did not need weird iPad apps or Tiger mom workbooks, he was just naturally incredibly interested in numbers (and an early reader).
Turns out he has adhd and that’s why he could hyperfocus on stuff like that.
Anyways just saying that every kid is different and it’s not helpful to laugh at kids and parents who have actual questions and concerns about their kid.
Omg 58 not 56. See? Clearly I’m not some math-pushing Tiger mom I’m not even good at it.
