Congratulations Mulan

Yesterday, Mulan finished her US 6th Grade maths at Khan Academy.

She is now working on 7th Grade, and as of today has finished 24%.  (There is some overlap between grades, so some skills mastered in 6th Grade are counted as mastered in 7th Grade.)

Miya is also doing very well, and has completed 70% of 3rd Grade.

I last wrote about the girls' maths work in January.  Since writing that, we have slowed down a little with regards to introducing new skills.  The girls are still doing some Khan Academy every day, but on many days they are consolidating skills by repeating already "mastered" "practices", rather than continuing on with introducing new skills.

My general rule of thumb with how much new stuff to introduce to them is that it is okay if they can't do the work completely independently, but of the bits of the problem that I talk with them about, they need to be able to understand my explanations and do the steps of calculations themselves.
