Maths update

I last wrote about the girls' maths work back in May of 2020.  It's time for another update.

Both girls continue to do a little maths work every day, year round.

Miya:

As of today, Miya has completed 63% of Khan Academy 6th Grade.

If she was in the US she'd be starting 6th Grade in September (at the very youngest end).

Mulan:

Mulan has completed Khan Academy 8th Grade and Algebra 1, and is 41% through Geometry.

I think I am right to say that Algebra 1 is taught in 9th Grade and Geometry is taught in 10th Grade.

If Mulan was in the US she'd be starting 9th Grade in September.

However, Mulan has now officially started school in New Zealand, entering Year 10 at Westlake Girls High School.  (I'll probably write more on this later.)  After a few days in a normal class, Mulan has observed that they are working on stuff that she covered a couple of years ago.  We're now talking with Westlake about options for keeping her challenged in maths.  It seems that either she'll transfer to an extension class or her current teacher can give her other work.
