athomeontheprairie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just a brag, no real point, but I need to share somewhere! Dd10 had math breakthrough today! Many here won't consider this hard math, but for her it certainly was! She needed to solve a word problem. To answer she needed to solve multiple problems, some were simple, another involved solving for a variable in the Pythagorean theorem, and comparing the individual solutions before finding an answer. Yay! She worked it correctly-AND and showed her work. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobeatenpath Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That is fantastic! And count me in as another one very jealous of the showing her work - that is like getting blood from a stone around here sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
