MATH HOMEWORK WITH TOLE

I had the best laugh the other night. Tole, the housemaid, needed help with her math homework. She is 19 and in the seventh grade. First of all the questions are so wordy and in English - which is a problem as she does not speak English. So we were trying to explain fractions to her and I drew a pie. She was also doing number line problems. What she really wanted was the answers. We would help her come up with the problem based on the writing and she would say "answer" we would tell her to figure it out and she would say "answer?" it was so funny and she is so sweet I do not think she understands any of her math but we had a great time with her.
