Overheard.....

Little Man is working on skip counting by ten. In his math book today there were pictures of groups of marbles, ten in each group. He was to skip count them and tell how many there were altogether (without counting each and every one). Afterward, he was explaining what he'd done to his 8 year old brother C.

Little Man: "In skip counting this equals 30, but in real life it's 32."


(I think we still have some work to do!)

Haaa! That's great! In real life, I weigh about 120 lbs and I have no gray hair.
