Family Talk: Teaching Math


Scene: Playing a trivia game and the question was how many inches on a yardstick?

Wayne

There's three feet in a yard.

Lindsey is about to answer by touching the screen.

Wayne

(interrupting)
I said there's three feet to a yard.

Lindsey, with finger still hovering above 24 inches, hesitates.

Wayne

There's 12 inches per foot.... And three times twelve is?

Lindsey

Oh yeah.

Granted, Lindsey was under the influence.

What next?
