This other girl's paper was a mess with lots of erasing.

Once I showed DD how to write out the first letter of each flower she was like "oh yeah, ok." If the teacher had just spent 30 seconds showing them an example problem, all of these kids probably could have figured it out.

Yeah, my DD brings home these kinds of problems, too. She'll randomly guess at the possible solutions, so I have to show her how to approach it systematically to ensure she doesn't miss any.

And yeah, she'll start drawing flowers.
