homework

This evening was the first evening that my two grandkids who are staying with me temporarily had real home work, so we all sat down at the kitchen table, and I tried to help where I could.  My grandson (8th grade) was working on Algebra and I checked his work, spotted a few simple math errors, which he quickly corrected and then got stuck on problem 31.  "We" finally worked out the answer on that one - x over 231 = g.  Then it was time to help the 6th grader who was working on definitions.  Each of four words had four steps to be completed: 1. write the dictionary definition of the word, (no problem)  2. write a definition in your own words, (still doable) 3. write some synonyms of the word (bring on the Thesaurus) and 4. draw a picture illustrating the word. Really?  How do you draw "implication"?
