Math genius in our midst
The other day I asked my daughter, who turned 4 a few weeks ago, what 1 + 1 was. She promptly replied "Two!!!" This surprised me because I wasn't even sure she knew what "plus" meant. But she also knew what 2 + 2 was, and we made it through all the combinations up to 2 + 5 before I stopped. I'm always surprised when my kids learn new words or say things in a conversationally adult way, but this new skill shocked me. I have no idea whether she's been practicing at school, or whether at a certain age kids suddenly know how to do arithmetic. Either way, pretty cool!
How is she doing with the guzintas? You know, two guzinta four how many times?
But of course she is a genius! She's my granddaughter!
I like your new format.
I can't wait until Emily discovers Algebra. I hope she loves it as much as I did.
