What sort of things do mathematicians do, anyway? Because it is now official that Joseph is a math whiz. Here are a few examples of some things he has said to us in just the last few days.
Cort: "What is half of 1/4?"
Joe (without missing a beat): "1/8."
(Much later, we asked him what 1/4 of 1/2 was, and he correctly answered 1/8 for that as well.)
Joe: "How tall am I?"
Me: "46 inches."
Joe: "So, 3 feet 10 inches."
Joe: "3 times 4 plus 2. That's 14 right?"
Cort: "What is 1/2 plus 1/4?"
Joe: "3/4."
Me: "How did you know that?"
Joe: "Because. 1/2 is 2/4. So 2/4 + 1/4 is 3/4."
The kid is in kindergarten. How in the world does he know this stuff?
