math

These kids are amazing. C7 just was demanding math problems. We did word problems at dinner (Six dogs are chasing 20 hares. Two hawks get two of the hares. How many hares do each of the dogs have to chase?), then just straight addition and subtraction (she's working on what they call "regrouping" these days, but for us older people we call it "borrowing" ... she can do up into the thousands, although she prefers not to go so high). Now she's writing her doubles facts down on a piece of paper. For fun.
