We have done car math for as long as I can remember, whenever the mood strikes us. These little oral challenges encompass adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, fractions, critical thinking, and even algebra.
All the questions below were asked today, except the last two which I remembered being particularly amazed with correct answers about a year ago.
No pressure or expectation to get things right, but they nailed every question. I need to up my game!!
