When D and I were learning addition and subtraction, our dad would quiz us. We would stand side by side, each standing on a floor tile on the living room floor. If we got the answer right, we stepped forward onto the next tile. I can’t remember what happened if we were incorrect—probably stepped back one. I guess it was good, healthy competition. I don’t remember if I beat D or she beat me.
