My Dad asks everyone to subtract 7 from 100 again and again and again. I think it would be easier if he asked them how many marbles they would have left if he gave them 18 and then took 10 away.
Exactly. But let's hope Frank's remaining words will get him through HIS homework. Otherwise, he'll have to borrow a few words from Marie, and that would mess up the numbers.
That's how my son is teaching his brother to play Scrabble. 300 points for using all his letters, landing on a triple letter (for X) and using a triple word score. He usually wins. But, his brother is catching up.
Tee Hee! So she sees everything in black and white...she'll grow up to be an accountant.
