Learning conversations ...

Fergus "is it 392?"
Ms Berry "yes, how did you work that out?"
Fergus "I just did the length times the width and then doubled it."
Ms Berry " why did you double it?"
Fergus "because it is two high".
MsBerry " so, you went length times width times what?
Fergus " height".
Ms Berry "so what would you say to if you we're explaining it to a friend?"
Fergus "length times width times height".
Ms Berry " that's fantastic, you just worked out the formula!
