Lex’s class does an activity they call Incredible Equations each morning. The kids have to think of equations that equal the date. For example, on December 5th, they could say 4+1. That’s an example most 1st graders would say. Lex prefers more complex equations, often involving multiplication and division. When I asked him if he came up with an equation today he said his was 10×2+4×2=28. (Alan is reading over my shoulder and told me there’s no need to type the parentheses because Lex knows about order of operations as of last week.)
I can’t wait for his parent teacher conference next week!
woah!
moms comments are all, like it, love it….so ………
I want some more of it……?!?! ha ha ha
He is unbelievable and, since the glasses arrived, his sister is catching up FAST. I can’t wait to get up there and see you all.
Wow! He’s in 1st grade and can do math like that already?
We like to play with numbers together, but he’s been spending some screen time on http://www.khanacademy.org/ lately too.
