Math Genius

A few weeks ago Kyler came to me and said, 'Mom! I know what 299 plus 14 is!' and he went on to tell me the correct answer. So I asked him how he knew that. He told me he already knew that 300 plus 14 would be 314, and that 299 was one less than 300, so the answer would be one less than 314! He figured this out all by himself. I was so proud of him!
