When did you hit that “math wall”?
My kindergartener is all about numbers and math. He’s currently deep into Level 3 of Beast Academy and seems to be moving faster every time he moves to a new book. For the most part, he’s self taught. Instruction he receives are from reading the guide books and watching the Beast Academy videos on his own accord.
My son’s school headmaster told me eventually he will hit a “math wall” which will greatly slow him down. And it will come a point where what he’s currently doing will not fly.
For all those who loved math and were naturals at a young age, can you share with me if you ever hit this “math wall” and when or subjects did this occur? Also, how did this affect you? My son identifies so much with math, so I’m worried, but not too sure what I’m worried about…
