crazychicknladyThe other day, H and I were watching some sort of Gymnastics competition on TV.
This led to a discussion of decimals, since H was wondering what it meant for one girl to get a 9.825 and one to get a 9.850.
It was a great example of how basic arithmetic concepts come up naturally in the regular course of living our lives.
