Math? Huh? On a food blog? What the heck! Yep Math! Or as we Trini’s like to pronounce it Maths! And yes my niece laughs every time we pronounce it that way. Nope I am not going back to school…as least not in the real way.
My niece is in 4th grade and every weekend I sit with her and go over her homework that she had for the week and what is due the next week. I cannot tell you how painful it is to do the math with her! First off I have not done math for years other than counting my pennies weekly. Why do I need to have a fraction in its simplest form? I cannot tell you how much crying goes on during the 2 digit multiplication math! And sometimes its me! LMBO.
This weekend I packed her off to my Brother-in-laws house so that she can make a gigantic multiplication table chart to stick on the wall so that every time she walks into her room she can see it and hopefully commit some of it to memory. It is getting better though, this weekend we had no crying. That is a small victory to me. After going through simple fractions this weekend though, I am ready to find me a tutor, well not for me but for her.
I just cannot remember it being this hard 20 years ago. I usually like to take my frustration out in the kitchen, and after doing Math this weekend, I went all out with these finger smacking, Sexy Chicken Wings.
Back to Math class.
