I'll have to ask my kids when they get home. My third grader just really started times tables, so maybe not. Have to say, they are eat least 1 year ahead with reading and most math concepts, than when I was in elementary school.

When my kids stress about school or test scores... I try and de-stress them and say "you have WORD, you have EXCEL, you have SPELL CHECK. We really had to apply ourselves or people would have know how stupid we actually were".

My 3rd grader DOES know all about square roots.
