Sinagpore Math is a very popular math program for home schoolers. It's supposed to teach children to think mathematically, broaden their horizons, and turn them into little math geniuses. Or something. Anyway, we were working on Math 1A. There is a picture of eight rabbits. Three are above ground. Five are below ground. Prompt: "Tell a story about these rabbits."
Munchkin: "Once upon a time, long, long ago, G-d created the very first bunny . . . "
Around about the time that Mummy Bunny met Daddy Bunny's eyes from across a beautiful spring field, I suggested we jump ahead to the part where she tells me how many bunnies there are.
"There are some bunnies, okay mummy? I'm trying to tell a story!"
We're doing Saxon Math for awhile now.
