Albert loves math

When Albert was in China, he loved to give George and me math quiz, normally additions with many big numbers. Right now Albert got hooked by multiplications, I tried to explain to him how it works and what it means, he doesn't seem to get it though, but he refused to do addition and subtraction. I opened his Kindergarten and Grade 1 math exercise book, and surprised to see that he finished both already. No wonder, he's ready for new challenges.

It's so funny that if you ask Albert to do 12 + 3, he probably would say "I don't know". But if you ask Albert, "If you are playing basketball, and you already scored12, now you get 3 more points. What do you have now?" He will give you the answer right away.
