practical problems

 David:

 Gave him a few word problems about ordering food, and actually got a little into long division.  Example: 4 burgers costs $10.  1 order fries is $2.  How much is 1 burger plus 1 order of fries?   Real world problems.

Still working on addition and subtraction above 10, and this time, using the number line.  He's largely reading fine.  Still loves "Living Long Ago."
