I pull out a dictionary if I don't know a word's definition well enough to
just explain it to a kid myself.
I get maps or encyclopedias when they ask me qestions I can't answer off the
top of my head.
I don't see a problem with finding similar things in a book if he's asking
for help.
Maybe, though, after the conference and Pam Sorooshian's workshops you
yourself will have more math ideas bubbling in your own head and won't feel
so much need to give up and get the book before doing a little brainstorming
WITH him!
