Sunday: morning math

This morning Isaac asked me, "what would the math be that if a is a positive number b is positive and if a is a negative number b is negative?"  

It ended up being a collaborative effort, but we ended up with the equation: a = abs(a)*b.  Next he went to graph it.  Then he started playing around with the equation.  After he tried a few things that didn't work out I put in a+1 = abs(a+1)*b and that altered it like he was looking for.

 (Pat, don't roll your eyes.)
