The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic? Today, Adam and I learned the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. This is sixth grade. How can I be encountering things I've never heard of? And why do sixth graders need to know the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic? Why does anyone need to know the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic? And how can a 36 yo woman with PMS be expected to deal with the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic?
I thought about cancelling math for the rest of our lives but instead I pulled out the teacher's manual and muddled through. It's really not complicated at all, as you will learn when YOU get to sixth grade.

I know. Really. Does anything so "duh" have to have it's own theorem? We learned that last year and we've yet to give it any practical application. Good thing we learned it huh?
LOL, I was talking to someone the other day who say "The Southern Ocean" labeled on her dd's map that she brought home from school. First grade geography has things I've never heard of. To my credit, Google Maps and Google World have never heard of it either. Wikipedia has but I still refuse to accept it as fact. Especially considering that it came from a public school. ;)
If your ears were burning yesterday, it was because I was talking about you again. I was talking soccer with a woman who has so far managed to avoid organized sports with all three kids and she was marveling at the time commitment of soccer with just one kid. I HAD to then tell her about you and yours. Poor woman almost fell over dead. ;)
