Eric asks the kids word problems all the time. At supper tonight, these were some of the questions and answers.
For Jonathan:
What is 99 plus 99? He thought for a few seconds then said 199, then stopped, corrected himself and said 198.
If you have 200 pennies and you make them into four equal stacks, how many pennies will be in each stack? It only took him about two seconds to say 50.
For Elizabeth:
How many pennies are in a dollar? She very quickly said 100!
How many pennies in a nickel? She said even more quickly, 1000!
1 out of two isn't bad.
