Red Lobster Algebra!

Algebra on the Kid's Menu at Red Lobster!
In the words of one of my former students, this is "FANTASTIC!" The picture to the right is from the Kid's Menu at Red Lobster.

This is algebra. There's even the word "sum"! This is evaluating expressions in algebra! Urchin is like x, Anemone is like y and Coral is like z. See? If kids can do this, so can you! I'm working on a glossary of math terms for this blog. For example, the boldface words will be linked to their definitions. As I tell my students, if you don't understand the terminology, it's like sitting in a French class when you don't speak French. Math is a language.

Thank you, Red Lobster, for making my day!
