As if we didn't know...

Today I was in the Post Office with my two girls, the seven-year-old dividing numbers using the distributive property and reciprocal multiplication like it was cake and the nine-year-old factoring quadratics in her head to entertain the people in line. Then when they asked about literature...

Oh dear. It's a good thing I'm homeschooling my kids because someday I will actually know what you're talking about! :^)

Do you mean: x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x+2)*(x+3)? At nine years old?
