Mental Math Bee


Here is Zak, being all brilliant at figuring out math problems in his head.  There were many of the problems I couldn't keep up with (not too surprising, my math skills are non-exixtent), but he had the answer as soon as the question finished!  He reminds me a little of Darren, what with the non-smiling because this is SERIOUS STUFF.

And here:
Is the boy, outside the back door of the gym, because when they tell you the audience has to remain quiet, you realize that your four-year-old's idea of being quiet is to only make his car sound effects loud enough for the surrounding county to hear.  He poked his head in whenever Zak was up, and I gave thanks that it was good weather.

Zak made it to the fifth round; there were only 3 kids who beat him, out of 300 in 3rd grade at his school.  Obviously, I take credit for his brilliance.
