That reminds me of a time when a dear friend and I were at lunch. He was trying to figure the tip and was taking awhile to do so. He's a mathmetics PhD and I teased him about it. I got a quick lesson about the difference between arithmetics and mathematics. :-)
LOL - I've given that lesson many times. ;-)
I hated math through elementary school. But discovered I loved it once I hit algebra. I think some of the curriculum used today does a much better job presenting math in a more interesting light from the get go by introducing algebraic thinking.
