Quote of the day

While working on a probability unit, I asked my students in class today to determine the probability of picking a boy randomly in the class.  We counted the students (25) and we counted the boys (5), and we determined the probability to be five out of twenty-five or 1/5.

I then had a male student comment: "Actually, Ms. Kinley, it's only 4/25 because I'm not a boy; I'm a man."

Awesome.
