but I have no idea how to turn an assignment that says something like "what number comes after 10?" into something challenging for him
Ha, DS7 does his homework answers in Roman numerals--would that help?
LOL, how funny that you posted this because this is exactly what I did on Monday night when he came home with one of those sheets again. I hadn't even seen your post yet. I told him to write his answers in roman numerals...of course he knows them so well already but at least it switched it up. Maybe we will do binary numbers on our next assignment. Although I think his teacher may have to look it up to see if he is right.
And I like that idea Wyldkat. I may have to be creative for a bit until they figure out what work to give him. i still am hopeful that they could give him some appropriate homework instead of me having to come up with my own child's homework.
