One of my two children I consider to be "mathy". As we go about our daily lives he thinks about things with a mathy twist (percentages, proportions, numerically, statistics and probability) where as I just don't.

He is in an honors/gifted class for math where his teacher totally gets him. He does well. But math isn't his passion yet. He likes words more.
