Before we get curious, we want to tell you about an amazing Alexa skill from our friends at Bamboo Learning called Bamboo Math.

I'm so excited because I love doing math.

You love math and you are so good at math too.

Occasionally you ask me to quiz you on some arithmetic.

You ask me questions that get harder and harder until you stump me.

And it is hard to stump you, but guess what?

Instead of asking me, you can ask Alexa for math problems instead.

What makes bamboo math so amazing is that they make math fun by making math visual.

Instead of asking you 2 plus 2, they might ask you something like,

if you had two balloons, and your friend Jacob came over

with two more balloons, how many balloons would you have? I would have four balloons. Great job,

and as you answer the problems correctly, you get more difficult math problems. It's so much fun. Why don't

you tell everyone how to access bamboo math? It's simple. All you have to do is say, Alexa, open bamboo math.

That was simple. It's now time to get curious. Enjoy the show. Hello!

And welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.

We've got a fun listener suggestion to learn about today.

But before we get into that, let me say something. When we first started this podcast, we grew really slowly.

And most of our listeners were people we knew. Since then, our podcast has grown steadily, and we've been able to chat with

lots of our listeners through emails and social media, and the Curious Kid Podcast family has members

all over the world. Today we are getting curious for one of our biggest fans.

We have listeners out in Portland, Oregon that have been so good to us.

Seven-year-old Nolan, five-year-old Ethan, and their mommy Rachel are loyal listeners of Curious Kid Podcast.
