So I've been reviewing pre-algebra with one of my clients overt the summer, getting him ready for the coming year. Just basic stuff you know, algebraic properties, FOIL, roots, exponents, scientific notation...maybe just to be sure I should go into logarithms ?
This week my client described his homework. It took me a bit of time to understand what the teacher was doing. You see, the teacher had these tiles, and one shape of tile would represent one element, and another shape tile another. So if you have five of the first sized tile, and three of the other....
*chortle* I think we are going to OWN this class,

Between forgettery and dyscalculia I am pretty darned sure that I understand maybe one or two of those words, and foil is either a kind of sword or the stuff you wrap stuff in when you put it in the oven. But I could make some lovely mosaic patterns out of those tiles. (The only time I was really having fun in math was when they let me draw stuff. Yay geometry!)
