My first grade Grandson loves Algebra.

in blog •  5 days ago 

I got my grandson a dry erase board for Christmas. He was running out of chalkboard space for his equations.

My Daughter asked him about his dog Lincoln whining (he wanted food); and this is the result. He timed Lincoln's whining and....

He calculated that Lincoln was going to whine 120 times in the next day. BTW, this dachshund is pretty spoiled.

Here's the culprit:

I especially like the cancelation of the hour term in the equation, as it shows that he understands how to use Algebra to get real world answers! He didn't show his Momma his work, this was for His own use....

Here's my first grade Algebra whiz (in the sun glasses):

They're having problems keeping up with him at school! He reads everything he can get his hands on, so school is more to see friends than learn.

He inherited my love of rocks:

So when he found out that there is other stuff inside some, he went mining for crystals. I got to get him some geodes now, ROFLOL!

I taught him how to extract square roots, then told him about cubed roots. He's having a blast! He started solving simultaneous equations by himself, and Dad called me to ask if it was valid. He sent me some pictures, and he nailed it! He's going to be a handful...I think I'll explain Calculus next. He'll love that!

His mind is a sponge right now, and Math is his toy....

I'll be past out drunk with that much whineries a day.

Jokes aside home schooling is the best option hands down.

I'm going to have to explain data collection filters ( the dog doesn't whine when he's asleep), but I know he'll love that too. He picks it up so fast that he's easy to teach!

He goes to a private school, but learns more at home for certain. But his teachers are trying to keep up....

🤠😋😁🤕

Heheh smart little guy! Math is important so it's great that he's got a knack for it.

He's on fire for math and languages. Keeps his parents hopping for sure! The rocks are a recent add, when I was his age I always had a pocket full.

He takes after you for sure! So glad you are a learning resource for him. He will cherish this time with you when he is an adult. Hubby cherishes the time he spent with his grandfather as a kid learning about astronomy. He is still into Astronomy!

Glad to see you posting. Welcome back!

Teach him the stone leaverite. Leave her right there. LOL.

He's fun, and has a quick mind. He takes what I teach, and combines it to go further. I'm enjoying watching where he ends up, it shows he understands it well.

I've been a rock hound since I was his age, so he comes by that naturally!

I got pretty sick, and spent a lot of time in the hospital; but I'm home now. The herbals and prayer are doing me a lot of good, so the hospitals were making me worse with no herbs. I'm feeling better now, so I can get back to prepping!

🤠💙🙏📖🙏💗👍
