I'm a leftie who switched, but I am also ambidextrous, like most lefties. On my father's side, every auntie is left handed, my son is also left, my other son is ambidextrous.

But honestly, I don't have a view. Why is the teacher insisting? We are all very happy using right hand or left hand. Even though I switched, I can still write with left hand, play games with both, and use chopsticks with both. On a table, as a family, we decide which hand to use. If we see someone can only use right, we all laugh and use right. If we see there are some stubborn lefties, we just use left. So that we don't clash into each other. So, I'm ok being left or right... so I don't have a view. :?

When I injure one hand, I use the other to write. I guess whether you are right or left, you'll do the same thing. When I'm tired using one hand to pound spices, I use the other hand, ditto for everything I do, including playing badminton. I'm happy using both, except for my competitive sport, I bat using right hand, because my coach couldn't teach me otherwise. I also became very strong on the right. Hm... I know this information does not help much, but I am absolutely neutral.

BTW, it is no big deal being ambidextrous. I'm so old, yet I still have a hard time telling left from right. To this day. Worse than that 4 year old. :stupid:

[quote=\"Oppsgal\"]The number of chickens in each of the six baskets was equal to the number of ducks in each of the four baskets


So? number of chickens in 1 chicken basket = number of ducks in 1 duck basket :?

Luckily I am not in this generation. Think the sentence is confusing enough. :yikes:

Actually answer is 30 of animals divided by 10 units? Chicken 6 units so 3X6. Duck 4 units so 3X4? Ok...I cheated a little by looking at the answer.

there are simpler words to use for children.why they need to complicate things

[/quote]Perhaps, it is us, the adults, who choose to look at things with a complicated mind?


This is how my daughter solved the problem -

30 - 6 = 24
24 - 4 = 20

20 - 6 = 14
14 - 4 = 10

10 - 6 = 4
4 - 4 = 0

There are 3 animals in each basket.

Howcome this thread has turned into a home-schooling thread? :? I thought I was going to write something about this until I see the subject :offtopic:

Yes, perhaps we adults think too complicated.
She is literally distributing 1 animal into each basket and since no more animals left after 3 rounds, there are 3 in each basket.
