I found that I'd done math several grades ahead of my own all the way up till 7th grade, and then...poof. I could do 7th grade in 7th grade and by high school was barely handling the minimum. I knew how frustrated I'd been at it.<BR/><BR/>I read a study recently where they said the part of the brain that handles math matures a little later in girls than boys, more like around 20, 21: which would explain why the required math in my college major was such a bear, but then somehow the last year it suddenly hit me that I could do this, that this was no longer the struggle it had been. <BR/><BR/>So I guess the moral is, if your bright-at-math daughter struggles later, it's temporary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
