Yep. Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple. Sixth grade math. Again. Improper fractions, too. How come it's so hard to explain? I know how to do it.....I do it almost every day, but I don't know how to teach it. I sure don't remember learning it. I had to have learned it sometime though. I'm fairly certain I didn't know how to reduce a fraction when I was born. Now that I have children of my own....I'm really glad the whole teacher thing didn't work out for me. Back in the day...I wanted to be a teacher. What was I thinking?!?! Luckily, Ben and Wyatt have both been blessed with some fantastic teachers. They've both had some that weren't so fantastic, too. Mostly, they have all been wonderful. I try to be sure to thank them every time I see them, talk to them, or e-mail them. They are raising our children with us.....because it does take a village. Here's a quote for today....
The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book. ~Author Unknown
