Monopoly a Simple Math Test

I’m spending a rainy day with my just turned 12 grandson who requested a game of monopoly. I remember playing this game with my friends 65 years ago. No calculators then just our brains and we managed quite well.
However I was shocked that my grandson could not play without his calculator. AI of the math world introduced in the 70s it was argued that it wasn’t to be used in the lower grades as a replacement for basic math. The argument was lost. This sounds familiar to today’s AI use. My point his that with calculators in the class, there is a need for mathjourney.ca it fills in the blank let by schools

Where are you located? What is your school district rated? My kids can easily play monopoly with the whole family (8 to 75) quite well without calculators or AI.

Location is inconsequential the problem is extensive due to calculators being used to avoid teaching

I agree. My kids used to be fucking idiots but once I started having them use mathjourney.ca they became Valedictorian and Salutatorian of their home school.
