Senior Tip-- Get refreshed to answer any question from your grandchildren at Khan Academy.
Your grandchild, looks you in the eye, and says "You went to college didn't you papa?" "Yes, I did," you reply. At which point your grandchild asks, "Can you tell me the difference between the mean, the median and the mode?" Or what is barometric pressure? Or what is the Pythagorean theorem? Or what is an adverb? Or what is the difference between an isosceles triangle and a right triangle? And so on and so on.
If you have not been stumped by your grandchild, then your memory is truly fading. Of course, more than likely you knew the answers to these questions at some point in the past, but because you do not use these terms everyday you are not sure of their meaning.
What do you do? Ask your child to come back to you in 15 minutes. Then you jump on your computer and go the Khan Academy website, type in the question and a ten minute video will answer the question. With your memory refreshed, you can now respond to your grandchild in an intelligent manner. Khan academy is the best educational website for 10 minute refresher videos on just about every subject taught in school. It is the new college?
Go to www.khanacademy.com and take a look. It is amazing.
