math sucks - Noah's Archipelago

I’ll Just Leave It Here

Noah thinks Ursula’s curiosity will get the better of her if he leaves her alone with the box and scissors and false hope.

Noah tries to convince Ursula to open her parcel but she’s suspicious and refuses.

Noah picks Ursula up from school and asks her if she’s ready to go to the dentist.

Noah tries—and fails—to make Ursula do math in order to get her way.

$Ursula refuses to learn fractions, though Noah can think of a couple real-world cases of when they're necessary.$

I suppose Ursula’s not planning to learn to cook either, because I sure have to know quarters and halves to make dinner.
