7. Thanks for your advice. We are keeping it fun.
I think he just gets off on having the time with me.

Last year we did quite well on some of the trigonometric functions, and graphing them in Excel. Most of that seems to have slipped away now, but he still understands radian measurement. As part of his interest in the Greek alphabet, he wanted to know how scientists use omega and I explained radial velocity. He grasped that quite well.

He actually has a fairly difficult time in school, since he's dyslexic. New Jersey educational policy pretends that dyslexia is non existent, and we've not been able to get any formal help with that.

I'll look into your suggestions.

Thanks again. Excellent advice, especially about the broadening part.
