The other day we were trying to explain what math is to Owen (4 year old). Alex was trying to put it in terms of something he likes - Legos. So Alex says,
"If you have 3 Lego sets and you get 1 more set, then how many do you have?"
"Four."
"That's math. You just did math."
(Says Owen, with a little confusion) "So math is getting new Lego sets?"
He was pretty excited about math!
I love the way a four year old's mind works.
