We are trying to establish a routine for practicing Math everyday. Both kids are strong in Math but continue to make silly mistakes and lose points so this is our attempt to help. The kids will have none of it though. Here are some problems we posed and the the solutions kids provided -
Problem for Diya to solve -
Father is 4 times older than son.
Father is 16 times older than daughter.
Daughter's age + son's age = 10 yrs old.
What are all the ages?
Diya kept trying to solve this while also helping me with Dinner. Aadi kept trying to give her hints - as he knew the answer.
To keep Aadi busy and away from interrupting Diya, Suvo gave Aadi a problem to solve. "If a triangle has one angle that is 1 degree and another angle that is 1 degree - how much is the third angle?"
Aadi's response - "the third angle is also 1 degree, because this is an equilateral triangle!!!" And he dissolved into a fit of giggles.
Diya picked up on the mood and solved her problem - The daughter isn't born yet so she is Zero. So the son is Zero. And obviously the Father is Zero. This family does not exist.
Maybe we should try our hand at Comedy vs Math!
