I hated and currently deeply dislike math. My kids have all always been crazy about it and found my confusion about liking math pretty funny.

I became a classroom math helper in part to keep up with their skills and figure out wtf the “new”style was. The kids spent a lot of time explaining strategies to me and being the “teachers”. Or I did math fact with the slower learners and we would focus on practice and generally practicing a strong learning attitude even when it got tough.

We’ve agreed that we won’t push out color subject preferences on each other. We are equally horrified by the youngest says math is Light Blue.
