A dad was left scratching his head over his daughter’s second grade math homework, which focused on how best to equally divide a series of pizzas.
Homework can be a stressful experience for both children and parents alike. A survey of nearly 800 US parents with school-age children published in 2020, which was conducted by the technology company Narbis, found that 63 per cent view their children’s homework as a source of household stress and frustration.
That certainly proved to be the case for one dad from Toronto, Canada, who requested he remain anonymous. He recently took to Reddit, posting the under the handle u/veraciousQuest, to ask for help with his daughter’s homework.
“I was reviewing my daughter’s homework as we typically do after she completes it and wasn’t sure if she was doing it right,” he told Newsweek. “Upon reading the problem I actually found myself puzzled.”
