Know your shapes!
The other day I was helping Easten with his homework and we were going over shapes. He's really good and knows all of them, apparently better than I do. When we got to a diamond, he paused for a second and said, "that's a rhombus!" Well if you know me I hated Geometry and I don't even remember what a rhombus is so I had to look it up and I found out that he was right because "a rhombus is a type of parallelogram, and what distinguishes its shape is that all four of its sides are congruent, which a diamond is and a diamond is not technically a mathematical shape whereas a rhombus is." I hate it when my kids are smarter than me!
