Well the point of the summer bridge books is they bridge 3rd to 4th grade, so they review the things he learned in 3rd (and some of what he actually learned in 2nd) and then they slowly move into 4th. Right now what he's doing is possibly 2nd -early 3rd grade math. I thought it would be good because its just going over what he has already learned, and cementing that- and there's no pressure at all. He's fine with everything except the math.
That's why I was worried- he got pretty upset over some fairly simple math that he's already done before. But I do think it's a good idea to try and apply the math to other things in the real world. He does tend to be resistant to that stuff though- he will tell me "stop mom I don't want to think about that right now- stop asking me to do this stuff..."
If only Bill Nye the science guy taught math...
