Congratulations Mulan (again)

Yesterday, Mulan finished her Khan Academy 7th Grade maths.  Again.

She completed it last April, but then Khan Academy added lots of new stuff in many of the grades.  So, Mulan went back and for the past few months she has been doing the earlier grades.

She will start back again today with 8th Grade, which she is currently 49% of her way through.  Our aim is for her to work through this steadily, but do more problems to help with speeding up her problem-solving time.

A very relaxed and flexible goal is for her to finish 8th Grade by the middle of the year.  In the imaginary world in which she lives and schools in the US, she would then be two years ahead of her age.

Meanwhile, Miya is continuing to work through both 3rd Grade (88% complete) and 4th Grade (67% complete).

Her main goal at the moment is to finish learning her times tables.  She now knows most of them, but occasionally she needs to calculate them in her head.  So, it is about speeding this up and making it automatic.

I think this would enable Miya to speed though the remainder of both 3rd and 4th Grade.  She might then start 5th Grade before mid year, which, in that imaginary world, would make her between one and two years ahead of her age.

(One of the strange things about the schooling system(s) is that here in New Zealand there are four school years separating Mulan and Miya, while in China (and I think the US) there are only three school years separating them.)
