Arithmetic

arithmeticWhen I was a boy in school, I used to love arithmetic. It gave such a sense of satisfaction when you found the correct solution to a problem. Ya know? I still feel that way. Let’s try some simple equations together:

75 – 52 = 23

See? That was easy. Let’s do a harder one:

75 / 52 = 1.44

That means that 75 is 44% MORE than 52. Why, that’s almost half again as much! Neat huh?

  1. Math is fun!! Can we step it up even further??

    (94-76)/2=9

    We learned as we got older that labeling our answer is very important. Let’s pick some arbitrary unit of measure….say….years? Hmmm….9 years. That’s, like, 2 whole presidents from now? Wow!
