    I hope he was the least bit impressed that Dad didn’t need a calculator at all.

    If Dad finds out you will be in a pickle Hammie, and Zoe is known to tattle!

    Hopefully Daddy is smart enough to figure out what Hammie’s up to if he keeps on coming to him with questions like that. But for goodness’ sake, don’t they have something like bottle caps, or a box full of buttons or something that they can use to help them. My 1st grade teacher suggested to us that we bring in a little bag of caps or buttons to help us with math. You didn’t really need more than 20.

    I’m a strong believer in teaching first principles rather than learning how to do it by rote. Long time ago, I was teaching one of my boys how to do a maths problem. He didn’t want to learn the reasons why, just to be shown how to do it. After a number of example questions I gave him, I turned the sheet over for just one more try. He couldn’t do it, as he’d just copied what was on the page above. I then showed him what he had to do as the process. He got it after that and could do them all (even when I turned the page over). He learned first principles after that, without complaining. Nothing liked old school

    Dad used a calculator. Go figure.

    Considering what an incredibly simple problem that is, tricking him seems like more trouble than it’s worth anyway.

    Yeah, my dad loved TV sports. As long as there was a ballgame on — football, baseball, basketball, didn’t matter — we could get help with our homework IF we asked during the game. kid: “Daddy, what’s 437 × 12?”Dad: “5244.”And the answers came fast and accurately. He’d grown up without calculators, and had the kind of head that did math easily. Alas, I did not get that from him.

    We had to save our hardest problems to be solved this way. If we asked too many times (or during a commercial) the answer would be “Wait a minute. Is this your homework?”

    At least he’s getting the concepts, and math is mostly useless without practical applications. I still remember when there was a whole page of simple math problems, and Hammie couldn’t get away with solving them all this way. Time to start using your fingers.
