Rise Over Run
Join Waleed, a curious six-year-old, as he faces the challenge of understanding a mysterious math concept called 'rise over run'. With the help of friends, and a few setbacks along the way, Waleed discovers the wisdom hidden within this puzzling idea.
Waleed loved numbers and puzzles. One day, his teacher introduced a new math concept called 'rise over run'. Waleed was puzzled and wanted to understand it completely. But no matter how hard he tried, the idea seemed to slip away like a wiggly fish. - I need to understand this, Waleed said determinedly. He felt it was important, like solving a great mystery.
Waleed decided to ask his best friend, Amir, for help. But Amir was just as confused as he was. - I don't get it either, Amir admitted. Waleed felt stuck, like his brain was a big tangled knot. He needed to find someone who could explain 'rise over run' in a way he could understand.
Waleed's older sister, Layla, tried to help next. She drew a hill and talked about climbing up and walking across. But her explanation was too fast, and Waleed still felt lost. - It's like a secret code, he sighed. Frustration bubbled inside him, and he felt like giving up.
Waleed slumped in his chair, feeling defeated. - Maybe I'll never get it, he said sadly to himself. He remembered how much he loved numbers and didn't want to give up. Yet, the puzzle of 'rise over run' seemed too big for him. Waleed felt like he was at the bottom of a very tall hill, unsure how to climb it.
Waleed's teacher noticed his struggle and decided to help. She drew a simple staircase on the board. - Each step is the 'rise', and the 'run' is how far you go forward, she explained kindly. Suddenly, it all made sense to Waleed. He realized that 'rise over run' was just about steps and slopes.
Waleed excitedly shared his new understanding with Amir. - It's like climbing stairs or going up a hill, he explained eagerly. They both laughed, realizing how simple it was once they understood. Waleed felt proud and wise, like he had unlocked a treasure chest of knowledge. With a smile, he knew he could tackle any puzzle that came his way.
