Higher Math


Joshua is starting to add double digits, and boy am I impressed! The word problem was this: there are 19 people in the restaurant, how many shoes are there? So, Joshua took his abacus and counted out 10 "people", then he counted out 2 beads for each person (their shoes). He then continued it on the next row for the other 9 people and their 2 shoes. He finally counted all the sets of 2 beads to get 38 shoes. He was so proud!

Impressive, indeed, but not suprising with such smart parents!
