hi Barb,
That sounds interesting, but I am not so sure. She actually is much farther along on math facts than other kids her age with very little practice; she just didn't memorize the facts by hearing them once or twice the way she does other things so to me, this is preplexing. I guess I am spoiled in that I don't need to repeat things and it seems she may need practice or repetition in this one area and she resists repetition. I don't even think they will do much with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing in Kindergarten in the fall so she won't be introduced to it there either. It really isn't a big deal. It is just the first thing that wasn't automatic and effortless end to end. As I said, she knows a ton of math facts quickly, but some of them took practice and nothing else took practice so it seems like a relative weakness.
