Math Night

Filed under: Observation — mark @ 8:14 pm

Attended ‘Math Night’ with Jake … a town-wide exposition of elementary school Math Plus projects and awards for the various math league contests. You know how exciting it can be. You also know there was ZERO problem getting a parking space.

All of our fourth graders do a ‘Math Project’ which, in our case (and I suspect a lot of other families) involved my painstaking instruction to Jake of the Representation and Theory of Cubic Numbers as illustrated by models assembled from little wooden blocks.

Jake A) could not care less and B) will swear to you that it was an art project that involved painting blocks of wood.

And these midgets inherit the world. Christ.

I’m hoping I get an ‘A’. All the Dads are.
