It has been a while since I updated on my now 6 year old. He recently started on Saxon 6/5. I am so impressed by his mental math skills. He is able to do 2 and 3 digit division problems with remainders in his head. I put some videos of his math skills as well as updated some of the other things he is doing on my blog (such as French, writing and cursive).

He is currently working at about a 5th grade level.

She is 3 going on four. Now she can count to 100 and is good at counting items, but I don't know how to progress from there.

So I would say it partially depends on her ability right now. With my kids we would start Kumon workbooks (my book of numbers 0-30, my book of simple addition,  my book of addition...) at age 2. We then would move onto Singapore EarlyBird at age 3. If she can write the numbers I would probably move her straight to Singapore at this point. We used the teacher's manual, the textbook and the workbook. The way you do it is you look in the teachers book for the days lesson and it sometimes has some things to demonstrate or talk about and then you look in the assigned pages of the text book followed by the workbook. It is quite quick and sometimes Mason would ask to do multiple lessons. If your child is pretty mathy you could probably get by without the parents book in the Earlybird lessons, but I liked how it showed how to teach ways to really understand the numbers which helps with mental manipulation.  Also the text provides additional problems. Most of the early concepts don't require more practice than would be given with the text/workbooks. But they do have a book of additional problems if you need more practice or challenging problems. As they introduced problems/fact families we would add them on to our daily fact review on the computer and he would do that as a warmup every day (and still does).

Do you have any specific plans for college with your children since they are so far advanced? Mine is 18m and have thoughts of how I want his education to go.  I love the family who put there kids in college at age 12, Kip and Mona Lisa ? I'd love for my children to start classes that young and I've looked into the opportunity to clep most of gen ed courses.  Which could mean the possiblity of only attending two years out of a four year college.  That would save me a ton!

This is what I've been doing for my son now and I'm also 34weeks with the second.
He is doing YBCR, reading bear and I've started to increase my out loud reading time with him to 3x/day.  For his math I'm looking into buying the Mortensen Math set, the deluxe set when tax time comes.  I think it will cost around $500 but it goes up to calc and trig I think.  I'd like to buy through Crewton Ramone, he so many videos available on YT.  I believe his kids were doing algebra around 5/6yrs old. 

Great job with your children btw!

Our current plan is to put them in Community college once they finish what I would consider "high school" course work. My eldest age 9 is currently in Algebra 1/2, high school biology, and doing a high school writing program in addition to writing a historical novel. He also does programming on his own. I am waiting for him to complete math through Calculus and then I will have him do Calculus in community college (I think it will be a good first course as he should have good success having already had the course at home).  I will probably put him in at age 13.

I like your blog and it is very helpful to have ideas about what someone else is doing. Thank you very much. I had a question about something. You mentioned that " As they introduced problems/fact families we would add them on to our daily fact review on the computer and he would do that as a warmup every day (and still does)." Did you make this review and if so, how did you do it? Our son is three (four in August) and we are doing the Earlybird math book. I would like him to get very good at his math facts, but I am looking for ways to do it.
Thank you

We were using a program called Sterling math facts. It is a flashcard program where you can either choose fact families to add to each profile or add facts individually. Unfortunately, they are not selling it anymore, I am sure there are other similar programs out there, or you could just use paper flashcards and introduce each one as they come across it in the books.
