The gay agenda claims another young mind. Tragic.

This is a problem in my country. They are replacing Math with Gay

Gay took err jerbs!

Being gay isn't a valid excuse for being bad at math/logic.

Edit: only 2 people are good at math?

Off topic but after like a decade of having seen the word "cishet" I just now realized that the het part means heterosexual

What were your previous guesses? Hetalia? Heated? Het Goede Doel*?

2 is smaller than three. I don't see the issue. I mean, the teacher could have written both in either decimal or binary, but they, they got enough on their plates as it is, so let's cut them some slack. The method the kid used is too sophisticated for me though. Some quantum computing mayhaps?

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The argument presented here exemplifies a classic case of reductio ad absurdum.

Allow me to explain:

The task assigned is fundamentally flawed, as it instructs one to encircle the smallest number. This directive is inherently ambiguous, failing to specify whether it refers to the physical size, numeric value, the numerical system’s framework, or the contextual relevance. Such ambiguity renders the task unachievable by any individual, especially in the absence of precision tools.

The shape produced is tongue-in-cheek, as it is evidently not a true circle. The commentary accompanying it employs the reductio ad absurdum technique, referencing a rainbow. While a rainbow may appear circular and rounded, it is merely an optical illusion. This highlights the impracticality of the task, further emphasized by the irregular, non-circular depiction of the supposed rainbow, a direct consequence of the lack of sophisticated tools necessary for accurate execution.

You don't need to go to school if you understand things like 10 is smaller than 2 because rainbow!

I am genuinely stumped about how to explain why 3 is smaller than 10 in a way that isn't either "because it is" or requires early university math. And the moment we go to university maths all the comments about ambiguity are true and it's unsolvable.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

A number line, or any approximation, would work.

The problem sheet, or the one prior, likely have an example of the answer format as well.

[–] Oszilloraptor@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

solution 1:

numbers 1 to 10 on the first row
arrow under 3 with text "smaller"
arrow under 10 with text "bigger"

solution 2:

"10 has more numbers/digits"

Both would be - imo - thinkable and sufficient solutions at quite young age.

(keep in mind that this is before they get asked "is 5 divisible by 2" and "No" or "Only with remainder 1" are the expected answers.)

[–] r4indeer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hm, how about "you can fit 3 into 10" or "if you take 3 away from 10, you still have something left over"?

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think my problem is that if you inversely asked why those are true, my answer would be "because 3 is smaller than 10".

I think I'd just write something like "1+1+1=3, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=10, there are clearly more 1s in 10". But that also just feels like a "because i am defining 3 and 10 this way" = "because it is". Though now that I think about it, that's kinda just the simple version of the university level answer, it works i guess.

In reality I would hope anything somewhat sensible would be correct here anyway, since it's more about making the child think about their answer than anything.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Honestly why is 3 smaller than 10 could be a philosophical question.

But I think to a 5 year old we just kinda want them to know that numbers can be added together to get bigger. Or maybe they really are supposed to be able to decode the structure of the universe wtf do I know I want to public school in the US

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ten IS smaller than 3. No. 3 at least gets the bronze medal, what does 10 get? They explained it well with the rainbow. On top of the rainbow are 1, 2 and 3 and then all the lower numbers from 4 onwards are below them.

[–] AToM_exe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I like that explanation.

Never question the rainbow mafia.
