I also know a girl who earned her bachelors at 17. She’s early 20’s with phd now.

LOL. I’m casually working on such a math curriculum. It really is a huge job. I firmly believe that the earliest teaching should be aimed at thinking properly to make calculus sensible at an early age.

Are you making this freely available or looking at publishing it? How far along is it?

[ClearCase_guy]

If I ever finish it, it would be freely available.
I’m not too much beyond the stage of gathering resources and figuring out a detailed outline for grades 1 - 12.

I’m planning to retire in about a year and this is something I’ve set as a project to work on when I’m not working.
