Algebra for Fun!

[livejournal.com profile] fairieboy's new favorite game is Algebra.

He has always loved numbers and math of all kinds. A couple years ago he stared playing with algebra-like math on his own. This week, [livejournal.com profile] airshipjones has been actively teaching him algebra. You should have see the look on [livejournal.com profile] airshipjones's face when [livejournal.com profile] fairieboy figured out all the basic equations immediately and intuitively. He has probably buzzed through the equivalent of a month's worth of school algebra already. Did I mention that my kid is a math genius and it is his favorite game?

I was like that when I was about his age... my parents got me workbooks to keep me entertained.

It is a joy to watch him learn and to watch his dads teach him. I am so happy to see him curious and thinking and growing.
