She's eleven and quite advanced for her age.  She skipped ahead to 7th
grade this year and still manages nearly straight A's.  Consequently
she's gone from pre-algebra to algebra in one swift step.  She's
having trouble breaking the equations into small steps and doing them
sequentially.  I think teaching her some basic programming will be a
fun way to help her.

I think I'll start with tile scripting and if she shows interest I'll
begin showing her how to write the actual code.  At the very least I
want her to learn sequence, selection and repetition.

That works great thanks.
