My 10YO girl's brain freezes about math. Life of Fred doesn't look like math and read like a story so she doesn't freeze. What I like is that already in book one, algebra and geometry are incorporated into math. My 7YO girl's only complaint is too much time on variation of 5+2=? but then she's a bit of a math whiz and I knew book one would be too easy for her. I am glad we started here, though. ( )
