Dear Difference Makers,

You’ve probably always thought of subtraction as taking away. I know I have. But we can also think of subtraction as finding the difference between two numbers. Of course, we always end up with the same answer, but there are different ways of getting there and different ways of understanding what it means.

That’s true in life, too. There’s always another way to understand something. The more ways you have of understanding, the better your understanding will be. The world is too complex and dynamic to have only one meaning.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
