Curious to see comments quipping that some of the math problems geared towards young kids are too hard. I'd recommend taking a look at Singapore Math[0] to get an idea of what kids in those age ranges are actually
capable of doing, provided that adults shed preconceptions that children ought to be "sheltered from hard scary stuff", and instead encourage them.
There are also great math-oriented games these days (I had some good success w/ prodigygame.com[1]).
My youngest daughter is 6 and can solve simple multiplication and division problems. Sometimes she even surprises me. Some time ago, we were introducing ourselves to a new neighbor and the convo went somewhat along these lines:
- my son: how old is your dog?
- neighbor: she's 8
- son: she's so small, is she a puppy?
- neighbor: oh no, she's grown up. 1 dog year is about 7 human years, so-
- daughter [interrupting]: oh wow, so then she is 56!
The other day, she came to me beaming to explain how she had just solved 38/2 (by doing 40/2, 2/2 and subtracting the results). Gotta say it's a joy to see a kid that enjoys math.
