Yes, that makes sense. As a review tool or to build speed where speed is desirable, I think strategies like that can work wonders.
DS7 is not fast at anything except learning! And he probably never will be. I always say that there are (at least) 2 kinds of GT kids: the fast and the deep. DS7 is deep. He prefers time to mull things over.
I think that style difference affects learning strategies, too. Things like flash cards or even educational video games that require quick retrieval of info stress him out. We're working on it, but I'm pretty well convinced that we have to come at things that are typically memorized--like his times tables--from another direction or it will not be good for his love of math. He needs lots of concept, very little drill at this point.
Maybe that will evolve as he gets older. I guess we'll see...
