Lessons were over and we all had some free time. I worked on the computer while the children played. Then I overheard the following maths lesson:
"Joshua, how much is 1 + 2?" Simeon asked. I did not hear the answer but look at the maths sheet above, the answer was 12, and the sum read 001 + 2 = 12
And no, the photograph is the right way round. We are still working on numbers and letter writing.
One question was: "Joshua, how much is 3 + 3?" Answer "3". "NO!! It's 6!"
And the leniency of a brother: "Joshua, what is 0 + 1?" Answer "0" Simeon then said: "You are right, it's 1"
Aah sweet. I anxciously await the day my 8th grader will become this helpful with my 3rd grader. At least he's better at Maths than I am.
