Given a problem: If the sum of two numbers is 24, and the difference is 0, what are the two numbers?

He eventually figures out it's 12 and 12.

After which he confidently states to me: "it's because two Dwights make one Kobe"

Sounds like a great kid. That would have been awesome on youtube.

How old is he?

He just turned 7.

He stayed home from school today and I got to spend a lot of time with him.

- we did math (and he hit me with 2 Dwights = 1 Kobe)
- I taught him how to play Sudoku (he picked it up in five minutes)
- more math (primes and composites)...we learned why 1 is not a prime, and he figured out that all evens > 2 cannot be prime.

- went to the park in the evening to practice baseball
- did some basketball too, he made a ton of baskets with a regulation ball today (he is a little guy, and has been struggling to even get the ball to the rim)...so big deal.

I really think school is kind of a waste of time for him. He's not challenged at all, and they don't build on his advanced skills at all. He's easily 3-4 grades ahead in math, and there is nothing the school will do for him. So I teach him a lot at home.

It's hard to balance work with spending time with him, but it's really worth it because he responds really well to the individual attention.

Some of my Pre-Algebra students probably couldn't figure that out.
