Dolphin has been doing so well teaching Xander math. Xander can now do addition and subtraction as long as he can use his fingers.
Xander's started to learn algebra concepts from a game that Dolphin found for his Kindle, called "Dragon Blocks". The game consistent of two pages representing each side of the algebraic equation. The goal is to isolate the picture of a box on one side (i.e. solve for X). Using mathematical concepts, you eliminate the terms one by one. It's all pictorial instead of numerical, but the underlying concepts are there. As soon as Xander learns a new concept, he's an expert and finding and isolating the box.
I'm sure it will be no time at all that Xander will surpass me (especially all the math that I have forgotten due to lack of use).
