Teaching Sean Math

Brian and Sean have been playing with their dry erase boards. They love to draw on them and practice letters and numbers. Brian decided that he would play teacher and was writing letters for Sean to guess. He did a great job.

Next came the math lesson - Brian wrote 1+1 = and showed it to Sean. Sean says, "One plus one is eleven!" Brian smiled and wrote 1+2 =. Sean said, Twenty-two. This continued on and on - 31, 42, 53, 14 etc.! Brian finally got fed up and went back to drawing.

I think Sean has a great head for math. He can tell you the amount of items you have at one glance. Like if you give him five pieces of candy on the table, he will just look at it and say, "Five." I thought the thing with the addition was pretty smart too - not the right answer but if you think outside the box, in a way it is correct!
