I try not to spend a whole lot of time going on and on about how smart I think my children are because I find that annoying in other people, but this is my blog and if you don't want to read about the genius my child is, just ignore this one :)
We bought Math U See curriculum for Danae about a month ago. We have been working through the Primer book and most of it has been really easy for her (mainly counting, which she has been doing since she was 2), but focusing on math has made it so that she counts all the time. She's as into numbers as she was into letters a year ago.
She keeps saying things like, "Mommy! Two and Two equals Four!" and "Mommy! Three and Two equals Five!"
Well, today my grandmother gave her hair clips. There were six of them - three pairs. While I was busy doing something else, she kept insisting, "Mommy! Two and Three equals Six!" I held up my fingers and showed her how two and three do not equal six. She was ADAMENT that two and three equaled six. And then I saw how she had her hair clips laid out.
Now, obviously, we needed a quick explaination of how Two TIMES Three equals Six, but still. Proud mama here. I don't know if every mother feels this way when their child is "getting it" but when you are your child's teacher this is a huge deal.
So yes, Danae. Two and Three do get to Six one way or another. :)
