Bear and Wolf both do/did things like that. Wolf was doing math on his own (addition and subtraction up to 10) when he was three and four years old. That's what made me realize we might be dealing with something beyond the norm...
To put it in perspective:
Kindergarten students in our area are expected to be able to count to 20 by the end of K, possibly some VERY basic addition.
Most children by the age of 3 are supposed to be able to COUNT to 5 or possibly 10 (generally this means rote counting, possibly numerical understanding.) Math doesn't enter into the equation at all.
Oh and the feeling freaked seems to be pretty normal. I went through it and I know a lot of other people on this board have talked about it.
