fun with math...

K is five now so her concerns have become more adult, more real, more life experience related. With kindergarten coming at her in a scant 6 months she's turned her mind to math and educational devices. What kind of educational devices you may wonder? Workbooks? Calculators? Flash cards? An Abacus?No. Too simple. Too linear. Too normal.She's using the grandma system, or rather grandmas. You haven't heard of the grandma system have you? No, of course you haven't and let me tell you why; it's a remarkable system of addition and subtraction K came up with all on her own in which she counts off the grandmas in her life (hers, mine and Mr K's) and then counts how many are dead and subtracts them.Yes really. No I am not joking.But oddly it doesn't work with grandpas...
