Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Oh dear, second grade math

Arrrrgh! It's the first day of school and I just saw DS6's homework from second grade. It's called "60 minute math", and this page is "Minute 1".

"Circle the name of the shape." (square, circle, triangle, as opposed to his current favorite, dodecahedron)

"Use the number line to find the answer. 4+2= "

"Count and add. (four apples and three apples)"

Lord, help me to make it through the first week.

I asked him if he wanted some Singapore Math test pages to do, and he said yes, and he also wants minute 2,3,4,5,6...etc. all the way to 60. I said, "you want all 60 minutes of math homework?" And he said, "yes! I'm not stupid!"
And then he brought me his (my old) Bridge to Algebra book and said he wanted the pages (of homework) for the Table of Measures and something else. LOL!
