Farrar Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I shared this on Facebook but then I realized it was more of a WTM forum funny. BalletBoy was working in his Algebra I book. The problems wanted him to write out the equation to reflect the word problem. The answers were unsimplified. Me: Stop simplifying them. You're throwing yourself off. They want to see the "story" in the equation. Him: I have to simplify them. Me: You don't have to. Him: Yes I do! Me: No, you don't. Him: If I don't simplify it, the monster in the box will say yuck and won't eat it! Oh. My. Gosh. He can't even do it without picturing the Dragonbox characters. :lol: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckens Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 My daughters devoured Dragonbox a couple of months ago. DD10 has asked to do Algebra this summer. I wonder if she will need to think of the dragons, too.....:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
