Marlon loves math.
Whenever something doesn’t make sense, he immediately starts calculating solutions.
But recently, a school bully has been making him nervous.
Instead of telling an adult, Marlon begins creating complicated mathematical routes through the school hallways and neighborhood to avoid the bully.
Every day the routes become longer.
Every day the stress grows bigger.
When Maximus notices Marlon’s behavior, he teaches him that some problems require more than calculations.
Using the Scientific Method, Maximus helps Marlon identify the problem, gather facts, test solutions, and discover that asking for help is sometimes the smartest solution of all.
