OT: When you you start teaching kids math?

[moneymaker]

Forget about basic math start your young one with set theory, that is the way to go. I was surprisesd to see how the schools kinda snuck it into my sons early learning, unfortunately he does not seem to possess the math gene, but he is way above grade level with the reading (always has been). I remember teaching myself how to tell time before kindergarten and counting by how many times the swingset swang by. I remember being shocked when I had to reteach my son the times tables, that would be 4th 5th and 6th grade. Good luck and I also recommend the computer games, my son loved them.P.S> at 16 he still can’t write cursive.

Keep in mind that your kid will be way above the grade level once she starts kindergarten. My oldest did not seem to mind that much, but I was very frustrated with homework like ‘draw 17 cats’.

At least two thirds of the class was way beyond the prescribed assignments. The teacher eventually allowed any two pages from the Math Expressions textbook to be turned in as homework, not necessarily the two she sent home with the kid.

[quote=flu][quote=UCGal]One more suggestion… if you haven’t already picked up the Leapfrog videos – my kids loved these and didn’t mind the educational content.
“Math Circus”, “Letter Factory” etc…

Annoying to parents, but the kids liked them, and it helped with a lot of the concepts.[/quote]

I have one as a gift. But I think she ripped out the pages from it…Judging by her demeanor, I think she likes to be more hands on versus book worm… (She likes playing with tools, taking stuff apart and putting things back together…Unfortunately , I have a feel she takes more after me….(So sorry about that 🙁 )

The leappad books and leapster games are different than the DVDs I recommended. Same company, but different format. These are entertaining kid videos that happen to have some educational content. My dentist recommended them to us, back in the day. (His daughters are a year older than my eldest.)

I started learning algebra at age 9 on my parents’ belief that children should learn at their own rate (i.e. teach them if they are capable of it at the time). Maybe try it with your kids and see if it takes
