"I"m afraid I can"t. Aunt," said Sally, "Girls can"t be good at math. "
"I don"t think so," said the woman. "I was good at it when I was a girl. You must do more exercises and
try different ways to practice doing math problems until you work them out or at least understand them
better. Here is a math problem. Please think it over and see if you can work it out. "
"OK," said the girl, "Let me try. "
