Math

tends to be Hannah’s least favorite subject.  This is too bad, because she’s really good at it.  One of her math problems yesterday was to divide a rectangle in half two different ways and find the perimeters of the halves.  She did this in her head, even though it involved adding fractions, and she got the right answer for both of the perimeters.  In about 30-60 seconds for each of the problems. 

Hannah likes to deny that any math that she likes doing is actually math.  Geometry, graphs, word problems (!), and money all fall into this category.  “Well, that’s not really math.”  I sometimes have the feeling that she uses the term “math” to mean, “schoolwork I don’t like to do.”
