Fun in numbers

The Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot went to Top of the World Elementary

School and asked second-grade students in Linda Barker’s class: ‘What

do you like about math?’

“Hard problems, I like to figure them out. I don’t like easy ones

because I go through it so fast.”

MAKENZIE FISCHER, 7

“I like learning addition because you don’t have to take anything

away; you just put more numbers into it.”

COLE ZARINELLI, 8

“Square roots, my mom’s teaching me.”

JEFFERY ROSENTHAL, 8

“Learning time and art [shapes].”

LAUREN AMES, 7

“I like to learn about shapes and do pluses instead of minuses.”

CAITLYN DIEHL, 7
