I got my grandson a dry erase board for Christmas. He was running out of chalkboard space for his equations.
My Daughter asked him about his dog Lincoln whining (he wanted food); and this is the result. He timed Lincoln's whining and....
He calculated that Lincoln was going to whine 120 times in the next day. BTW, this dachshund is pretty spoiled.
Here's the culprit:
I especially like the cancelation of the hour term in the equation, as it shows that he understands how to use Algebra to get real world answers! He didn't show his Momma his work, this was for His own use....
Here's my first grade Algebra whiz (in the sun glasses):
They're having problems keeping up with him at school! He reads everything he can get his hands on, so school is more to see friends than learn.
He inherited my love of rocks:
So when he found out that there is other stuff inside some, he went mining for crystals. I got to get him some geodes now, ROFLOL!
I taught him how to extract square roots, then told him about cubed roots. He's having a blast! He started solving simultaneous equations by himself, and Dad called me to ask if it was valid. He sent me some pictures, and he nailed it! He's going to be a handful...I think I'll explain Calculus next. He'll love that!
His mind is a sponge right now, and Math is his toy....
