Kate and Dylan were working on word problems for math today. I told them that word problems are real life and that someday dylans word problem may be to calculate the velocity of a roller coaster heading downhill at 45 degrees. A minute or two later, Dylan said," by the way aunt Sherri, how do you measure angles anyway?". I happily pulled out the compass and launched into a full discussion about measuring angles, types of angles, triangles, and a little vector physics with gravity and friction. Dylan was totally into it and we drew some sample coasters and measured their angles. Fun! Real life learning!
