Mathemagic Land
This is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. I am absolutely blown away. Abbie used to babysit for a kid who could do the date thing in his head, but he hadn’t gotten to powers yet. Once I gave him a quick overview of squares and quizzed him a bit, and five minutes later he’d moved on to cubes. Quiz over, since I didn’t have a calculator on me. Plus he was busy trying to figure out how the remote worked.
He was 5.

holy shit.
how many times do you think we’ve collectively seen Donald Duck in Mathemagic Land?
I can’t count that high. I think Savage had us watching it at least weekly, no? He probably watched it every day before classes even started. You know, just to get pumped up for a day of math.
hehehe, Savage….
remember that time in the back of class we noticed he was wearing the same shirt that very day as he had on in that picture of him with his classmates from the 70’s… classic.
