My Child & I

Firstborn is further honing his maths skills with word problems.
And is also learning the concept of time as in am/ pm.

Mom: " Baked a cake- cut it into 12 pieces- ate 4 pieces- how many are left?"

Firstborn: "Its subtraction - as it says left; the answer is 8"

Mom: " Have 5 pennies in one hand and 8 in another, what's the total?"

Firstborn: "Have to add- as it is total; answer is 13 "

Mom: " Am clearing left-overs after dinner. So, what time is it?"

Firstborn: "Time to subtract- as it's what's left !!!"

My maths: subtract(cooking time) , add (reading time) = happy time(s)!
