Funny Math Story
So I just have to make a post about this. I was researching the math program Math U See last night. On one of the demonstration videos, Steve Demme mentions a class that he was teaching once. He had 7 students and he brought in 14 objects. He asked them how many each would get. They asked him if they were supposed to add, subtract, multiply, or divide. So, I decided to ask K a similar question. I said, "I'm going to bring home 8 apples. How many do each of us in our family get?" She thought for about 5 seconds before answering. She said, "Two for you, two for Dad... Four for H, and zero for me, because I don't like apples."
