Whatever happened to the multiplication table on the cover of the black and white composition notebooks?
I got so frustratied looking for them that I just went ahead and made one myself. Calculators are rarely used in our house and so our daughter is used to seeing us using paper and pen when balancing the check book or other every day uses of math.......and that's how she is learning.

My son it 16 going on 35.....
He is bored to death in the sorry excuse that passes for Public school in this sorry state. Its all well and good to say home school or send to private school with grants and such... the sad fact is there is boat loads of competition for those grants.... and they are awarded... well lets just say that there are other factors other that ability that come into play here.... I don't want to come off sounding too bitter.
How many kids do you know that can do calculus (first and second derivations) in their heads and come up with the right answer and not use a calculator....
so he comes home he is bored... I taught him C++ in less than 5 weeks.... he is now programing his own game... Yet the school holds him back.....
I fear for him when he gets to college....
