I remember liking math when I was in school. Tonight, Steven is doing math homework (On Sunday night, he realized he still had homework to do) and it consists of that dreded math function - fractions. Mike has been the homework parent tonight and done most of this worksheet with him. Mike got stumped and I placed the call to my sister the teacher. She also has a 13 year old son, in 7th grade. I was hoping they had just done this math and she could rattle off the procedures to me. Wrong, they are doing something totally different. But after a quick consult, I got the jist and Steve moved on to the next section of the worksheet - with Mike as his guide. It's only been 20 some years since I was in 7th grade - he doesn't understand why I can't just pull this stuff up from my memory. Wait till he's as old as I am helping his own children with math - maybe he'll get lucky and Aunt Jenny will still be available for a quick consult!
