“It’s impossible to get a zero on a test” “it’s harder to get a zero than a passing grade” “you have to know all the answers to get a zero” You all underestimate my abilities

my school has this thing where they would hire people who speaks English and isint from our country to teach us, so far they have math, and science, i was studying for math and reading through the power point they sent us and god damn howd i miss this gem of a slide

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

Who knew tutoring would be so exhausting but at the same time soo rewarding.

I imagined a dyscalculic child, who isn't getting any help or support in learning math, nobody understands that they just don't get it...

Nobody understands that the child tries to solve math problems by making up stories about the numbers and operational symbols, fascinating, beautiful mythical or fairy-tale stories, and "drawing" the ending of the stories where the solutions should go.

Every math problem is a hypothetical situation involving stock characters, and the child believes they have to parse exactly what the situation is supposed to be, given the limited "shorthand" consisting of numbers and operational symbols and the arithmetical frameworks, and work out what the result would be.

And nobody, or almost nobody, ever gets to hear the stories.

I used the poll options to narrow down choices for the ball/toy pit poll

The "Fandom" account on tumblr has posted an April Fool's Day set of polls asking people to guess how many of 3 different kinds of toys and how many toys total are in a container. Using the numbers given in the polls, I've found five possible answers to all the poll questions in which the numbers of each kind of toy add up to the total:

247 crabs + 277 horses + 235 paws = 759 objects total

247 crabs + 277 horses + 249 paws = 773 objects total

247 crabs + 313 horses + 242 paws = 802 objects total

239 crabs + 299 horses + 235 paws = 773 objects total

283 crabs + 277 horses + 242 paws = 802 objects total

Feel free to use this information along with your own (or someone else's, no judgement!) size/volume estimations to make your guesses! Or just guess, there are no rules!

Explanation under the readmore:

Each poll gives four potential answers. Assuming that the correct answers for how many of each object there are and the total number of objects are given as options in the polls, this means that the correct total would have to be the sum of three of the answers given in the polls about the individual objects, one from each poll. There are sixty-four possible combinations of one answer from each of the three four-option individual object polls. (If you start with all the combinations you have when you pick the first answer in the first poll and the first answer in the second poll, there are four potential combinations, one for each choice in the third poll. You have the same four choices and four combinations if you choose the first option in the first poll and the second option in the second, and so on for the third and fourth; this gives four combinations for each of the four choices in the second poll, so there are sixteen combinations for each option in the first poll, giving a grand total of sixty-four possible combinations.) I used a spreadsheet (linked here) to find what each of those sixty-four combinations added up to, then found the combinations which added up to a number that was presented in the "how many objects total" poll.

“How did you manage to get all those ?!” “For some reason, the passersby gave them to me.”

Hey~ 💕 Here another Au 😂🍀 in fact @uragirinoteme found that Hinata (Shintani) looked like Lance and that Misaki looked like Keith~ ✨ Tbh that so true!!! 👏👏 We wondered who could be Usui, ended it was a perfect match with Matt !! 😂🎉 The AU was born!! Haha👶

Don’t repost~

I did the math and it would only take 11,793,402 house flies to carry me away.

YES, it’s like, 7 x 3 = 21 always served cunt and was the color magenta, the number 14 give’s chaotic bisexual and I am here for it.

I love em dashes (—) they’re the most underrated form of punctuation. they have so many uses, and they also feel like thursday

okei I gotta draw it cuz if I say it it won't make sense

so first we're gonna take 7 and place it over eight

bada boom, then take 2 from 7 to get eight to 10

then add 5 and 10

now carry the ten from fifteen over to 20

then add 30 and 40 to get 70

then add the five from 40's ones place to 70 to finally end with 75

this is how i do long ways problems, the vertical ones i do like a normal person

overheard a group of guys walking from the math building at college and all I heard was "... if you SQUARE it!" followed by rambunctious laughter from the entire group
