I LOVED this today!!! My 8 year old granddaughter and I are "pen-pals" (we actually write real letters to each other about once a week, really!). This week, she gave me a "little bonus." She asked me if I could solve the problem 56 x z = 8. WTF, I thought? I have to solve for z, and it's a fraction, and I'm sure as shit going to have to show her how I got it, not just that I know what it is! So I did, but I can't believe the crap these little kids are doing that we didn't do until like, maybe 8th grade back when I was in school (I graduated in '77).
I took AP Calc in high school (I did not do well) and my artsy liberal arts college was like you should take calc here!! But I told them to fuck off and took statistics for psychology instead (the easiest math course). I somehow ended up married to a physicist, but I still say fuck math.
Does anyone watch Number Blocks with their kids? I swear it taught me more about math than all of high school (and college because I too was able to opt out 😂)

I got a 450 on the math portion💀
I feel your pain!!!
