Kids and math: three things
May. 12th, 2025 12:59 pm1. Hmm. So remember how I told you E did reasonably on the JMO? I'm not taking that back, but it turns out to be somewhat more complicated than that.
( Ugh, a lot of words, very boring )
2. ( Math at A's school, or the lack thereof )
3. This morning was Mathcounts nationals countdown round! E has been looking forward to this for weeks on end, despite the fact she is no longer in middle school and has never gone to nationals herself, and would have tried to watch as much live as she could, except that she actually had an AP exam this morning. So our family is gonna watch it tonight, and until then she has turned off Discord and google chat so no one spoils her. I think it's hilarious and fun that E thinks of math competitions like most people think of sports competitions -- and so do I, I've always been like that too, so it's something we have in common too :) (D does not think about it quite like that, although he doesn't mind watching with us. I suppose reasonable people don't, heh.)
