Carson Jody’s Birthdate

December 2, 2011 by Kathleen Cotter Clayton

This post is a personal post with a delightful math twist. I am Kathleen Cotter Lawler, Joan Cotter’s daughter.

Today, December 1, 2011, my daughter Megan gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy. Carson Jody was born at 12:44 this afternoon. This amazing event turned me into a grandma, my mom, Joan, into a great grandma, and her mother, Florence, (who is 97 years and 1 day old) into a great great grandma.

I was honored and blessed to be present at Carson’s birth. Yes, I cried. There just aren’t words for what I experienced today and I will never forget this day. Ever.

So, rather than gush on and on and on (which I’ll probably be doing for the next 50 years), let’s look at the math aspect of today.

Clue: I’ve already told you.

Huh?

Check out Carson’s birthday.

December 1, 2011.

Also written as 12-1-11. Now take out the dashes.

12111        Not bad!

Now write the date as the Europeans do: date – month – year.

1 December 2011    or

1-12-11        or

11211.

Pretty cool, right?

OK. Maybe not totally fascinating, but I liked it and I love love LOVE my new grandson. Life is incredible.

 

P.S. We had a colt born a while back on May 6, 2007. That’d be 05-06-07. We named him Trigonometry and called him Trig for short. Carson’s lucky he didn’t get named Symmetry.

What our Customers Are Saying

Thank you so much for your RightStart Math Curriculum. I have been using it for 3 years with my son and my daughter is beginning her second year. I love the strategies you use for teaching math and the lessons are fun to teach.

My daughter is 7 and this is our 2nd year to use RightStart Math. She is in 2nd grade and is adding and subtracting 4 digits numbers with trading like it is nothing. She also can do her multiplications. The most amazing thing is that when she is somewhere and has to spend her money she is quick to tell them how much change she needs back. I have seen a lot of teenagers and adults who cannot do thi… Read more

My daughter is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been a struggle for her, as it was for her father. I discovered that she has dyslexia (which is hereditary). I didn’t realize that had any effect on math, but I found out that people with dyslexia cannot learn with rote memorization or sequential skills. This makes it harder for them to remember math facts or how to do algorithms. Before I kne… Read more
