Griffin is 7 years old. If you have been reading along, you know that we talk math a lot around the house. This is the sort of behavior that results…
On Wednesday of this week, he had a mild spill off his bike as he transitioned from the street to the sidewalk. On Thursday, he made the same transition with ease and grace.
G: Want to know why I don’t fall this time?
Me: Yes
G: Because I did it at the right angle! Get it? The RIGHT angle?
Like I said, there are consequences to talking math with your kids.
This kid’s a real cut up. So one more for your “pleasure”.
Griff was alerting me that his class would be studying two-digit multiplication in the coming week. This will involve the lattice algorithm (little do he and his teacher know just how familiar I am with this algorithm!)
G: If I have any lattice homework, I’ll eat it up! Get it? Lattice? Lettuce?
Overthinking my teaching 
Brilliant and funny, Griffin rocks. Precious.
