Time and tide...does wait, for opportunity!

My husband who is a mathematician, used to wax lyrical on some aspects of math when he was helping our daughter with her homework. Her eyes would glaze over and I could see that all she wanted was an answer...get everything over and done with.

These days she works in a challenging discipline where she naturally uses mathematical skills. Who would have thought?

When I was a teacher I would always start with the hatred aspect of math that children, some of them, adhere to, and it wasn't long before I had convinced them that just to live their lives, they were employing some principles of math.
