My husband is good with understanding math concepts too.? Watching him, and then seeing how the kids pick up ideas and play with them has helped me recover from my own ideas about what I thought math was.?
Last week my 13 year old was telling me about the Halloween events in her favorite games on Roblox, and then she explained how she was collecting in-game candy to buy special event items that she would then trade for items she wanted that required actual currency.? She walked me through her mental calculations of how much she would need to collect, converting it from the in-game currency value to dollar value, and how to determine what trades were at a profit and which were break even or bad trades also considering the time she had put into collecting.?
This week she is mostly sitting on the trampoline in the sunshine listening to audiobooks.? We're in Texas, so it's the first time in months it's not too hot.
