Damn, I let my kids watch Alphablocks as toddlers but I never noticed Numberblocks! At 7 and 8 they're very good readers but the older one gets bored with arithmetic homework very easily. I've failed as a parent and mathematician.
- feoren 5y ago> the older one gets bored with arithmetic homework very easily Is he/she getting bored because it's too easy, or frustrated because it's too hard? I was crazy bored with arithmetic homework and I later took 2 years of math from a local university while I was still in high school because my high school ran out of high-enough-level math classes for me. Look up the story of Gauss in elementary school for a much more extreme example. Don't assume your kid is behind at math because they don't like arithmetic homework! They could be too far ahead!
