We have become friends with a family who have a GT child and it has been a huge help. The kids get along really well. We have tried to find other but so far we are unsuccessful.The is also no branch of the NAGC in our area.
so even if you don't teach division - it'll still probably be boring because it will be taught and taught and taught when your son grabbed it the first try.
That is what i remember about school, listening (and then tuning out) to the teacher going on and on. I'm 90% sure DS is already doing this - he has shown though that he is memorizing worksheets or rules for the class.. The more i think about it the more that school seems like a really bad idea because even if they give him more challenging work once he completes it then they will have to go further. I'm trying to find a fun way for him to learn Spanish as they don't do languages in the UK until they are 11 - and then it's usually French (the instrument he wants to learn is the Trumpet! - and he needs his 2 adult front teeth).
Thank you for your advice. I do try to answer all his questions approapriatly. thats how we got into negative numbers - he continuously asked what is 1-2? i kept saying 0, then after about 4 hours i said -1; quick explaination and then he was off...
