Math Wiz

My dad stayed with us a couple nights ago. The kids were happy to spend some time with Popeye yesterday morning. It was fun to have him here even if it was a very short visit. While playing, Popeye says "2 + 2 is ..." Elliott was quick to give him the correct answer and then comes right back and says "99 + 99 equals 198." Popeye was quite impressed, as was I. I know Elliott knows a lot of crazy things and he can add well, but I hadn't heard that one yet. He is learning all about really big numbers and likes to try to figure out how to write them. Just now he said "90 + 90 is 180 and 90 million + 90 million is 180 million." Then he wanted to write it down. He's learning. He is one smart kid. Watch out Kindergarten!

  2. Ok Mr. Smarty, what's 10,572 x 0? How about 5064 x 1? You have an amazing mind Elliott. Keep right on thinking and learning!
