The conversation this morning was about what math skills a house builder (Bull) and a doctor (Mouse) might need to develop. Bull we said would need to be able to measure and cut and figure how much of something he might need. Then for Mouse: Me: Did you hear the doctor ask me how much Jack weighs yesterday? She said he gets a 1/2 tsp of medicine for each twenty pounds. how much would he get if he weighed 40 pounds? Mouse: Twice as much-a whole teaspoon. Me: What if he weighed thirty pounds? Mouse: (30 second pause) 3/4 because he would need another half of a dose besides what he got for twenty pounds. Fractions and proportions in her head! I did not teach her this....K
