A maths lesson on the go

Eye appointment at 9.40am in the hospital.

Eye drops needed to be administered 30 minutes to an hour before had.

I see a maths lesson coming on…

• What time is is?  9 o’clock

• Time for your eye drops.

• 2 eye drops, one in each eye - you have 2 eyes.

• They sting for 20 seconds… counting down from 20… and zero, all good?

• Now we have 30 minutes to get dressed, have breakfast and get into the car.

• Reached hospital.

• It says ‘keep left’ - what side is left?

• Checked in at 9.40am.

• Which room are we waiting for? 1 or 2?

• When are you going to see Ella?  Next Tuesday - today is…

• Waiting, waiting, time passing very slowly.

• Now it is 10.15am and we are still waiting.

• Finally!

• She is putting the funny glasses ON your face.

• Look up, look down, look left, look right.

• Good job Lance.

• We need to pay for parking… what does that say?

• 5, yes £5.  Can you help me put it in?  Thank you.

• Yes, maths over for today!

Making our way back to the car, my phone rings… 

It’s the hospital, different department - oh there’s been a cancellation.  

Yes, Lance can make an appointment at midday tomorrow….
