Have you asked her if something was going on that day? Simple mistakes would happen with the older boy when he was distracted by something or felt sick/off that day. 

[SAT 9,609]

No...

They're just mistakes that shouldn't have been made.

That's how he was. Every now and again it was like hmm what on earth.

3 out of 24 is too many

[Ontarkie 14,563]

For her yes I would agree.

Of course there's the concept. 

But it is something you can drill. 

She can do 90/5 in her head. 

And probably 15000/5000.

But again, the disappointment is, she knows that stuff. And 3 mistakes is too many out of 24. 

It's also, I've worked so hard to pass on my knowledge to her. I make it as fun as I can. Like apple picking, asking her to divide 32 apples between the 4 of us. And she does it, easily...

And for her to drop 3 simple questions like that. It's so disappointing...

She's doing multiple digit division with double digit divisors. She's doing fractions!!

And she gets 15/5 wrong...

It's not usual for her but she's a kid, let her have a bad day without feeling the worlds ending - if it turns out to be more than an off day then you work out what the problem is and take it from there

 

How do I do a Google search on an image?

Listening to Swedish podcasts relaxes me.    Makes me nostalgic.

1.  I had a nevus removed from the inside of my eyelid for testing. 

 

2.  The little turtle won't leave me alone. Keeps sticking the kindle in my face,

"zombie pumpkin? Purple pumpkin? Mickey mouse balloon" etc...

1.  We hope that it isn't dysplastic, normal nevus man.

2.  Enjoy every nanosecond of it, because They Grow Up So Fast, sigh man.

     We wish to re-experience Mini-B. at that age, even for a moment, true delight wee man.

This is the very best out of much very good advice, see man.

Too bad Wee Ma'am isn't studying P-math, which can be mastered in one day, see man:  One, Two, Many, Many, Many, [...]

With cooler weather coming, we inventoried our outerwear, inventory we man.

We had Many (2+1) windbreakers, Many (2+1) medium/heavy coats, and one Arctic parka, diversified we man.

 

They had not been warshed (Texas spelling) in recent memory, forget when we man.

We therefore consulted the warshing (Texas spelling) instructions on the liner tags, squint we man.

 

Only one appeared to be too complex to launder ourself, take to cleaners tomorrow man.

We warshered the lighter Many (2+2) first, and a heavier one + the parka next, consecutive loads man.

 

We first used a highly perfumed liquid detergent, get bang for our buck man.

We next used the allergy-inducing fabric-softener sheet in the dryer, more bang for our buck man.

 

All came out very well, pleased we man.

The chief step was to not let them bake too long, pull from dryer while half-baked man.

 

Of note, all Many -- si man, all Many -- were steals from GSs & ESs, excellent bargainer we man.

We don't recall having spent more than $Many ($2x2x2) for any one of them, upper limit man.

And these are Members Only, NordicTrak, London Fog, Claiborne, etc., discerning we man.

Only one is anywhere near out of style, but that one cost just $2, steal we man.

And we recall having talked the Claiborne down from $Many ($2x2x2x2+2+2) to $Many ($2x2x2-1), one-Many'rd man.

We are rather pleased with ourself, cheap discerning proficient laundress we man.

Mini-B. appears to be a bit under the weather, sneezing wee man.

Mrs. T-B. delayed in getting him his flu-shot, scheduled for Saturday man.

We hope that it needn't be postponed, hope we man.

 

We got ours on Oct. Many'th (2x2x2-1th), shot we man.

The pharmacist asked if we were feeling OK or had had any bad reactions, due diligence man.

We said, "We're finer than frog hair, and that's mighty fine, si man," si man.

We said, "We got shot here last year and are still above room temperature, first-person observation man," si man.

This mollified the concerns, persuasive we man.

[TBoneTX 46,300]

We were groggy all day from having stayed up to watch every pitch of Game 2 of the World's Serious, intent we man.

We off-dozed for some time at our desk in the POTS office, zzz we man.

Upon awakening, we found that we had completed 2 POTS sales in our sleep, second nature for we man!
