Thanks, Dinah. Wildly Foxtrot came today! It's on page 138. I still can't find the publication date, so I can't get the framed copy I want, but this is a great leap forward.
Paige: I hate word problems
Jason: Are you kidding? Word problems are great!
Jason: Without word problems, math would be just some abstract bunch of formulas that live only within the confines of a classroom or a textbook.
Jason: But in reality, math is everywhere you look! It permeates everything! You can't escape it! And that's what word problems let us in on.
Paige: And that's not a reason to hate them?
Jason: And the more math you learn, the more math you see....
