Here you see a 4 x 4 number array. We're using it to figure out how many teddy grahams each person gets if we divide the 16 pieces two, three, or five ways. Sometimes we have "remainders," too. This entire concept of division is very, very difficult for the Elf to grasp. Both Emperor and Elf also have a bit of difficulty figuring out things like what 3/4 of 16 would be, even with the array *right* in front of them. The teachers' manual DOES say, though, that we are merely "Introducing the Concept," which should be mastered in about fourth grade.29 October 2007
