One of my little girls was trying to figure out the density of a sample she had been measuring. She had taken the volume and the mass and was using a calculator to work out the density. I normally hate calculators, but I just didn't have classtime to devote to the long division.
She kept typing the numbers into the calculator and restarting, getting more and more frustrated each time she started over. Hoping to avoid controversy, I just observed, not saying anything.
Finally, she dropped it on the desk and looked up. "Mr. Hall!" she yelled. "My fingers is trying to punch in the numbers, but they're too fat and the numbers is too skinny!"
Exactly how does one exercise their fingers? My only thought was digging for nose gold.
