In this chapter and the previous, Life of Fred has been working on doubles in math. It also discussed a fortnight in this and the last chapter. It also is discussing the different types of English over the years (Old English, Middle English). In the next chapter it discusses these in more detail. It discusses the fact that English is constantly changing and it discussed new words that have been added to the english language over the years starting in the 1940's. For her homework, Megan had to guess where Mouse potato came from. We discussed this and came to the conclusion it is about people who spend their time sitting at a computer as opposed to a couch potato. Then, we read a writing about World War II and had to pick out words that didn't belong in that time period, words like aerobics , latte, brainstormed, and assault rifle. I had to help with this.
Then, she had to copy down a set of addition problems and answer them.
Finally, she was asked what number added to itself = 16. She knew this to be 8. Then, it introduced her to the fact that, in algebra, x would be an unknown number, where x+x= 16.
