I may have mentioned this before, but both CC and I love literature and writing. Math isn't exactly a strong suit for either of us. So we weren't surprised when we began producing children who were the same. However, when you have 5 of them, you do start to see genetic trends that surprise you. I have one that even says math's her favorite subject!
Firstborn makes A's in math, but she studies for them. This year, she is starting Pre-Algebra with my all-time favorite math teacher in the whole world and dear friend, Miss Morton. Rather than assign them problem after problem of subtracting positive numbers from negative ones, she sent home a paper last night where they had to find age differences between famous mathematicians (some born AD, some born BC). Same concept, but a lot more interesting.
I am not quite sure what this assignment was, but I found these pictures on my camera this morning. It involves integers. It involves candy. It involves math. It has Miss Morton's name written all over it!
