Math

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.
