DS6 who is also in grade 1 did the same with division of odd numbers. "What's 3 divided by 2? 5 divided by 2? 7 divided by 2? 9 divided by 2? 101 divided by 2?" He understood that you can divide the even number by two and then divide the extra number in half. And then he said that doing math relaxes him.

Also, last week while we were on vacation (and he was allowed an hour of Minecraft a day) he somehow he worked out the following: "If I am too silly two times, I will lose 10 minutes of Minecraft. So if I'm silly 4 times, I'll lose 20 minutes. He made it all the way up to 12 times he would lose his whole 60 minutes." I think he kept adding 10 for every 2 rather than actually multiplying 12x5, but still.

We're still not sure he's gifted (and have to wait until July to get the results!), but that's not usual for a typical 6 year old, is it? Anyone who has noticed all of my posts will notice that I'm not good with waiting. It must be the ADD. crazy
