Yesterday after his bath, James was asking, "What's 7 + 1? What's 7 +2? What's 7 + 3?" After answering each of those, when he got to "What's 7 + 4?" I said, "What do you think?" And he got it right, continuing on with 7 +5, 7 + 6, and so on up to 7 + 9. So, he'd figured out that if he added one to the number he was adding each time, he just had to add one to the answer each time. I was impressed! I'm no expert, but that seemed like pretty sophisticated math skills for a three and a half year old.

Well, I am (a little bit of) an expert in education, and that is pretty impressive!
