Instead, we get the toy problem.
the toy example.
And I don't see any reason why that can't be a video game example, which is what you just gave, is why not be building mathematical spreadsheets about your video game?
You care about your video game.
All we did was make you care.
That's how you teach.
You teach by sort of... They used to say when I used to do a lot about learning games, people used to say, but learning, it shouldn't be chocolate-covered broccoli.
You shouldn't just give them a math test that looks like a game.
And I'm like, well, no, that's okay, actually.
Most learning is...
chocolate-covered broccoli to some extent.
If I were to say to my kids, hey, you have to do math because one day you might need to do your taxes, they're already bored as soon as they heard the word taxes.
But if I say you have to do math because it's going to help you get better at this video game...
Well, it's also going to help them with their taxes.
And that is actually an internal motivation for them because that's their world.
That's what matters to them.
And so the more we can connect it to their world, the better.
That's good teaching to be able to connect it to the world.
An example similar to what you brought up, which I think is good for parents to understand, especially I imagine part of why
that happens in your household is because your husband is also a gamer.
