We were driving in the car today and Alexander said to me-
Alexander: " If a plus b equals 3, what are a and b?"
Me: . thinking this is complex equation for a 6 year old that doesn't even get multiplication but ok "well, 1 plus 2 equals three so 'a' was either a 1 or 2."
Alexander: "I'll give you a hint, a plus a equals b".
Me: "Well a must be 1 and b must be 2!"
Alexander: " Yeees"
Me: "Where did you learn that? Are you doing equations at school?"
Alexander: "No, not at school, on Neighbours"
So, my child is not an amazingly advanced mathamatician, he simply watches too much television. Which apparently also has some educational value!
