Monopoly Math

Kanyon has loved numbers ever since he was a baby. Before he was 2, he could count to 20; even before he could speak in sentences or express his feelings, he knew his numbers. His favorite subject in 1st grade is math--he even enjoys doing the homework!!

One of his new favorite games this year is Monopoly. Josh and Ammon both already love the game--and now Kanyon has joined their club. As a 6-year-old, he loves the math aspect of this game. He loves adding and subtracting the dollars, and buying properties, and counting out the beginning cash for the players. He has asked Josh so many nights to PLEEEEASE play with him (he doesn't even bother asking me because I haven't liked that game since I was in high school--it's far too long and I always lose), and most nights Josh willingly agrees!
