Thank you to our new follower, Christy. Your ham is forthcoming.
They're doing factors of 300 in third grade? No need to google, Jill--I am a total pro at factoring (as of winter term, 2009). That is because when I did the math placement test at PCC I placed into Basic Math. Which started--and I am not kidding--at addition and subtraction. I have had a very shaky relationship with math ever since first grade and due to chronic absenteeism all the way through junior high, I could not have told you what a factor of 300 was, let alone how to find it. Let's not discuss other math subjects like geometry, circles, how and why to use a protractor (other than to jab yourself accidentally) and the bane of my existence: fractions. I am happy to say that i have mastered it all the way up to Intermediate Algebra so I am ready, willing and able to help your children with math, at least until they get into the 5th grade or so. Then they'll have to wait.
