This week, we had the kids play a math game on their computers. After a few simple instructions on how to operate the site, the kids quickly settled in and got started. Kids at this age (kindergarten and first grade) still seem to enjoy math quite a bit; in fact I'm not sure where along the line they start to lose that. Anyway, we may have overestimated the kids last week with their writing and typing skills, I was personally blown away at how well these kids handled math. It was incredible.
There were no snags or major issues this week other than the short time (10-15 min per group) we had to spend with them, and the fact that we may need to be armed with more challenging math in the future. And, as a Physics major with a minor in Math, I am delighted that kids are proficient with math and enjoy it at the level these kids do.
