Dear Cousin Jimmy, Hi, my name is Gavin, and I want to help you with multiplication and subtraction. We are going to be learning some math.
You should trust me because I have done a lot of math during school. I really like math. You learn, have fun, and do a lot of things. You do a lot of your favorite things in school. Recess is my second favorite thing to do in school.

I can help you solve 6x12. I can help you read a clock. The one hand is near the 10 and the other hand is at the 30, so it is 9:30.
I really love math, and these are the reasons why. We have a lot of cool problems like 9x5=45 and multiplication tests. We learn a lot of stuff, cool stuff like 11x12=132. Math is my life. Literally sometimes I do math if no one is around because I like to show my feelings with math.
From, Gavin

About Andrew My name is Andrew. The best advice I ever had was from my dad, and the advice was: don’t jump around too much because you might get hurt. And that was the best advice I ever had because if you jump around, you might lose your balance and get hurt.
