Your son sounds adorable, mmmom. His carrying around a couple of numbers in his pocket resonated with me so much. Our DS' thing was letters, not numbers, though. He had to have at least one in his hand whenever we went to the store. He went through three sets of those foam letter/number sets in two years. He cut his teeth, literally, on the first set.
I recall reading someplace that a child who is advanced in math like your son is likely to be at least highly gifted. Something about math requiring a higher level of understanding that does reading. (?) I'm sure someone here knows of what I'm referring.
Making a quick Google, are you near enough to
GATE Academy to talk with them?
