Math teacher, seeking to nurture (and torture) young minds, convincing everyone that they, too can love math. Love my family (wife, 2 kids, dog and cat), music (listening and playing), the outdoors.

Yes, but not on social media enough. Still here?

Did anyone else see this as √3+√3, or about 3.4? Just me?

I used to be chaotic good when traveling and had paper boarding passes, and lawful evil otherwise, but times change. Now I'm mostly lawful neutral for fiction, and lawful evil (but bad at it) for non-fiction.

My kids have been playing Jedi mind tricks on me since they were toddlers, so I guess so?

Make everyone a Jedi?

I've been searching for something for 20 years that will do this well. The only success I've seen was students with strong coding backgrounds taking notes and showing work with LaTeX, but that's definitely a niche intervention.

Ah! I saw a vague reference to this, but thanks for the link to dive deeper.

That's what I assumed, but it was an American using Latin. (Maybe).

Also, the student was happy to know I got back to her and didn't think it was all that important of a question. But I was fascinated.

And more, but I love this creativity!

I think I'm partly still in a state of shock at this kind of change so late in the year, and I'll be in a better space to try problem solving soon. But at the moment I'm experiencing a lot of frustration at the situation.

My original test was already pared down because of a slower pace this year, and was set to be 4/4/4/3 questions for our 4 units. There's a focus on algebra because it wasn't taught well last year in algebra 2, and is the biggest stumbling block for calc students who did well in algebra in the past.
