My plan was to let Squeak do whichever problems she wanted in the first 9 lessons. Lesson 10 introduces tally marks - something we briefly talked about - so I planned on really starting there. I have this fear that we may "miss" something if we don't do some of the easy stuff....
Soooooo, after a few minutes of doing the select problems in the first 9 lessons, Squeak declares that her new math was boring and too easy and she wanted to do her "octopus math" (which is that Word Problem book I typed about in the last blog entry - based on the website, it looks like a series of 6 books, I bought the Word Problem book and the Beginning Subtraction book). She also said she didn't want to do this math anymore!! Yikes! I got scared!
But I did promise her that we will move ahead to more challenging stuff. She seemed to accept that answer so I'm going to have to bookmark more challenging lessons. I figured half way through the book, we will be able to go lesson by lesson. And I have no idea how this book is going to last until fall even with the Rod & Staff!
Ok, my panic is over....
She's 3 and a half and bored with the Kindergarten Horizons Math! Wow, how are you going to keep up with her?
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your random, non blog question: very very rarely. Just so happens I was on a day or two ago because someone had commented on one of the threads I had commented on a while ago. There never seems to be any activity on the younger child or Christian boards, so I glance, read some posts, and leave. How about you?
