This has perhaps been Eden's most challenging maths book so far. It has dealt with mostly fractions, algebra and decimals and area and volume. There has been a lot of explaining from my side as Eden is not naturally mathematical, but we got to the end, and she achieved a great 90% for the final tests, and dark mint chocolate was her choice for a reward well deserved.
She has also done quite a bit out of this Kumon book on fractions to solidify what she learned in her mathusee.
Jude has also finished his Alpha, he is so enthusiastic to do more and more, but he hit a wall when subtracting bigger numbers, like 14-8 in his head. Mastering is crucial in mathusee so you cannot move on until these kinds of facts are known automatically. He just wasn't get them quick enough and was getting frustrated, so we took some time out in the book below for a few months, and when he had come round to understanding these facts, he easily finished the rest of Alpha, and is so excited to start the Beta now. (And we still need to get him his reward.)

Well done Eden, getting 90% wow, you deserve the chocolate.
Great to hear you are doing well too Jude, keep it up, even if you don't get it right the first time don't give up.
You have a very good teacher so some of the credit must go to your mom. Love you all lots and lots, Nana and Uncle Peter. xxx
