thank you, you have reminded me to be open minded. My kids are creatively using their brains with math beyond what has been told to do. This creativity should not be discouraged. A simple question like this is really worth asking. It helps me be more accepting.

Tonight, my daughter was doing her Math Fact HW she was looking for patterns, even though the this was not part of the HW. MY DD looks for ways to challenge herself with school work. I remember her doing this in Preschool. It's occurring to me that this may be part of the Math Facts thinking.
