It gave the timeline for the various forms of English such as Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English and Modern English. It gives examples of writings from each of these times. It stresses that the addition of facts and math itself haven't changed over time, 5+8 was 13 1000 years ago when Beowulf was written. He discusses changes in other fields besides English, like Astronomy, computers, Biology, etc. He still needed to show how 9+9 = 18. He did this by dividing 9 pieces of pasta in half.
For problems : Megan had to complete the serious of what happens if you take a stick of pasta and keep taking halves of the pieces left, like one piece broke in half is two, two pieces, each broke in half equals four and , four pieces each broke in half is 8, and 8 pieces broke in half equals 16. She had to finish this series. This seemed hard for her so I work her through the next three, 16----32------64-----128. Then, we stopped. The book of course, did a ton more in their answers.
Then, she had to do some beginning algebra
2) Find a value of x , such that x+x = 14 true , she answered 7
Find a value of y, such that 6 + y = 8 true, she answered 2
Find a value of z that makes 7- z = 4 true, she answered 3
