So now I have half a system set up...

I need to change everything I think.

Let me explain.

Nicky is good at maths.  Really good at maths.  He should have been in year one at the end of the last year, however he was in year two.  They were doing a maths test at the national level, which is one year up from QLD's normal level - so really the test was for the end of year three.  Nicky had only been in class for a few weeks, and he scored 85% on stuff he'd never seen before, and 98% on more basic concepts (numbers, patterns and algebra).

Last week, we were working on iMaths, and he did basic time.  I'm thinking this book is going to be too easy in some aspects.  And yet, he has trouble measuring (the physical measuring with a ruler - he can do the math in his head, no worries, and has fantastic problem solving abilities).

So I guess I should buy the next few years books, and see how he goes with the harder stuff.  Because part of the idea of homeschooling was to keep the education at his level, not the level of his peers.

It's easier to physically *do* homeschooling than I imagined, however it is rather complicated when it comes to appropriate curriculum.  I'm not going to be able to keep with the Australian Curriculum as much as I thought - we are going to have to skip ahead in some areas.

Back to the books for me :)  Just when I thought I had figured it out lol... :)
