Today I was teaching Son "more than" maths questions.
I wrote on the whiteboard : " 5 is ____ more than 3 " .
He can't really get what it means, so I drew a diagram to show him that 5 is actually 2 more than 3. He , then, took the marker from me and wrote down on the whiteboard : " 3 is _____ less than 5 " . He told me that the answer to his question is the same as mine.
I was truly amazed for 2 reasons .
First, he has never wrote down a 'sentence' ,so willingly, all by himself before. His penmanship is really not too good so he never like writing, especially long sentences.
Second, he can get the idea that the two statements are actually related. How clever of him, I thought.
Kids, really do amaze their parents at times!
