To three decimal places, what number comes after 10?

What is the lower prime number, greater than 10?

What is the lowest square which is greater than 10?

Skip counting by 2's, what number comes after 10? By 5's? By 7's?

Of all the fractions you know, what number is near, but greater than, 10

Sorry, couldn't resist. It's my special gift. But really, this is why we have curriculum writers and specialist, yes?

I hope they give up on him doing the regular Math soon, and allow him to 'place out'

That truly is a gift you have Grinity. But that would require me to learn things because I don't know all those answers, LOL I don't know base 6...but I was proud of myself when I learned binary numbers this summer (but not so proud of myself when I started to get it wrong in my explanation to my newly 5 year old and he corrected me).

mjb - Changing up assignments is good as long as the teacher doesn't get all offended. If they are a good teacher, they won't care and may even encourage it. I think it is a good temporary fix...but I am hoping for something a little more appropriate for long term. Good luck! My DS comes home with pictures and all sorts of things drawn on the back of some of his assignments. But not as much the last week since they let him go on the computer some if he finishes early.
