RE: Win a Magic Wishbone

Funny, as I read this I was listening to my husband doing parent teacher interviews on Zoom - he's a maths and physics teacher. I don't know what he'd do if he was offered a wishbone by a student.

Stories can be our greatest teachers. Sadly maths is a little short of them.

I laughed out aloud at the bit where he worries what kind of bone the guy will pull out of his suit.

Thanks... I'm glad somebody admitted to understanding my warped sense of humor !LOL

Seem to be a good match. Not just you and your husband, but also Physics and math. Physics is the story... but if you are teaching high school kids then it may be effective to give a little more room for creativity and thinking and absorb the concepts of math first before giving problems. The world has enough problems. The best math books are stories.

Smullyan is a good start if your husband hasn't looked into it already:
