Lils is diving into the Stack the Countries game, which not only focuses on global location/geogrpahy, but also political facts, information, languages, and customs. For every 8 or so questions she answers accurately, she is awarded another country across the globe. So far, she has about 20 countries, giving her at least one within every continent. […]
Decimals and Their Equivalents
Today we worked on continuing to expose and explore the value of being able to express portions of a whole in various different forms, whether it be percentage, fraction (reduced & expanded), and in decimal. Lily doesn’t care and so it’s challenging to keep her focus. For the future of this concept, I’m researching angles […]

Mystery, Research, Brain Transference

Can we just make them (ancient brains) think again and see what that brain thinks through a computer?” “I’m going to write a […]
