My 2nd grader has done all of these things. However, while he easily mastered these concepts, they are not expected to. His grades are B-Beginning, D=Developing and S-Secure, I think most of the grade level expectations for these concepts are B or D. I guess at least they get the exposure?
But I agree, we do seem to have shockingly low standards for math in American elementary schools. I mean, at DS's spring conference the teacher note to all parents suggested we keep working with them on a daily basis in learning how to make change!
