It's amazing that your child has gone from obliviousness about numbers to growing math proficiency in such a short time. Following is a list of what math most 7-year-olds are able to do. (If your child can't do some of these things, he'll probably learn them in second grade.)
- add and subtract two-digit numbers and possibly three-digit numbers
- begin to solve simple word problems
- estimate amounts (such as how many beans in a jar)
- use a ruler to measure in inches
- understand how to measure angles
- count to 100 by tens and fives
- know which number comes next (after, say, 49 or 128)
- tell time to the quarter hour
