Pokemon Go Math
Michael's mental math is really impressive.
We were driving to the beach today, and Michael was talking about how he's about to get his first Dragonite.
In Pokemon Go:
He said he was going to try and get 2 Dragonites, and said "I need 250 Dratini candies ... for 2 Dragonites"
I was really impressed. He figured out (25 + 100) * 2 in his head. More impressive was the fact that he could work through a story problem.
Not sure how he did it since he doesn't formally know multiplication yet, but he knew the parameters of the problems and could get to an answer.
