I Love Math

Tomorrow is Saturday. Ken thinks hard what he will do tomorrow.

He has no assignments. The weather is going to be nice. One would expect that a child would want to go to the playground and just spend the day playing.

Ken comes up to his mom and makes a request.

He tells his Mom to buy him an activity book so he can do some serious math problems.

The next day, his Mom buys Ken a Math workbook. When Mom gets back home, Ken is so excited with the new workbook.

"I won't be bored anymore. I have something to keep me busy." And he jumped in and started answering the problems.

Teaching my kids problem solving early in life would hopefully prepare them for the rough road ahead.

Nataniel Ken loves challenges. So he got this puzzle as a gift last Christmas. He opened it and tried to solve it himself. But the puzzle was not the usual big pieces that is easy to connect. This one got the 100 pieces with colors almost similar. This was tough for him and he sought for help. But everybody was busy. He asked for an adult to help him. But they only told him to try it himself first. Determined, Ken did his best.

And he was done in 20 minutes.
