Congrats sonofV! and BigV too.

How old is sonof? Would a father/son building project help to make the math less abstract? Is that an issue? Is sonof more of a concrete thinker, e.g. "oh 12 inches =1 foot, 24 inches= 2 feet, 36 inches = footfootfoot." That sort of thing.

It helps me understand math when I can see the tape measure. If I see something I can understand it easier often. With the exception of other people's driving interpretations.
