What really constitutes being a math genius in Kindergarten? I know counting to 100 is a big deal-- we've read Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th day of Kindergarten and all that. My son likes to practice the counting to 100 by ones, fives, and tens. I guess one does need to be able to do that.
It appears we what we used to call equations are now "math sentences," and I assume they are to be memorizing 1+4=5 and all that. I think my son really digs on this math stuff, because he enjoys the quizzing we do at home.
The counting and such done in Kindergarten really doesn't seem to be advancing the skill set beyond what they've learned in Pre-K, does it? I know, not every kid had preschool, but we're not going to beat the Chinese counting to 100. I think I'm taking this all way to seriously.
