LOL, we are using everyday math as well with DS5. Thankfully the teacher just sends worksheets home instead of a whole book or else I would be quite overhwhelmed with the simplicity. She says that I can differentiate and make it more challenging...but I am hoping that they will do that as I have sent them math workbooks and printouts, etc. I just don't have the creativity to make an assignment 3-4 grade levels higher. They are trying, but when I see papers that come home that say "write the number that comes next: 10, 17, 13" That is a little much for me. We also had ones where we cut out numbers that we see in magazines and glue them to the paper. Last night he wrote his answers in roman numerals to make it a little more interesting. She did decide to give him his own spelling words now, which is great. We went from sat to furniture..so that is an improvement. Baby steps.
