Let’s try to make learning easy • Not long ago………the 7 dwarves met the 3 little pigs in 2002, 39 steps from a 4-way cross road. • 101 Dalmatians attacked them • The dwarves and the pigs ran as fast as their 2 legs and 4 legs could carry them • They escaped, gave each other a high 5 and continued along Route 66

  5. Learning….Easy….Or… You now have 30 seconds to write down all 17 digits in order with no errors
