Okay if they're expecting times tables up to 12 to be memorized it makes more sense that they're giving that word problem... but the program definitely hasn't introduced 12x6 or 11x5 yet. (Sounds from what Dbat said that that kind of thing is not unusual.) There were a couple of times tables (up to 4) to be filled out over the past few weeks, but that's it. DD has no problem filling out a times table because you just start with zero and keep adding the number, and there's nothing else in the problem to interpret like there was for this one. I'm not so keen on trying to make sure she has her times tables memorized at the age of not-yet-6 so looks like I'll be keeping an eye on her work from now on.
