Math Whisperer

Me: ok time for your 20 minutes of playing before bed.

 Eli: no I get, like, 144 hours! That would be 3 no 4 days, no wait (he whispers and counts on his fingers for about 40 seconds) – Mommy: it’s 6 days!

Me: Wow! How did you figure that out?

Eli: Easy – Because 24 times 1 is 24, times 2 is 48, times 3 is um 72, times 4 is like 96, times 5 is 120, and times 6 is 144! And there are 24 hours in an, um, day so 144 hours is, like, 6 days… (shrugs as he heads to his desk to do more math)

[I HAVE NOW ENTERED THE TWILIGHT ZONE]

So he spends the next 10 minutes or so at his desk doing some very important project – working with his calculator, writing stuff down, running back and forth to other parts of the apartment, etc.  I let him follow his dream and do his “homework” as he likes to call it… then we play.

Later, when I go to get in my bed, I find a note from him! (see below)

 
This morning when I commented to him how cool it was to get this note in my bed…
Eli: Mommy do you have a copy machine, you know those things that makes copies?
Me: Yes, I have one at work.
Eli: Can it make one copy?
Me: Yes, it can make one or even one thousand.
Eli: (his eyes light up and he giggles). Can you make a copy of this because I want to do the problems too!!
BE WARY KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS – THIS ONE IS OUT THERE!!
