It’s so normalized, they teach it to us from birth. Some people live their entire lives never seeing an issue with the images above.

It’s actually a pretty good highlight of how generally people don’t notice they’re being racist, since the diversity in the various characters depicted leads me to believe they thought they were including everyone.
Went to the grocery store with my kindergartener. We weighed some bananas: 2 pounds even. We weighed a watermelon: 4 pounds even. We weighed some mangos: a little over 1 pound. We weighed the watermelon AND the bananas: 6 pounds even.
“That’s funny” said the child “because 2+4=6 and two pounds and four pounds is six pounds. It’s like the same as math!”
“What happens if you add 6+1?”
“SEVEN”
“What if we put one pound of mangos on the scale?” <mangos added>
“IT’S THE SAME!!”
“OK, what’s 7-4?”
“Three?”
“What if we take the four pound watermelon off the scale?” <watermelon removed>
“Mama! Are you telling me math works In Real Life? Think of all the things you could measure!!”
ranking the numbers 1-10 on a 1-10 scale:
7: 10/10. good to say, gender neutral, prime number.
3: 9/10. get a little sillay with it. odd, which is nice.
everything else: i don't like them enough to finish this post
Happy Pi Day, everyone! Have a visual that I will think of for the rest of my life.
Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!
i need several moments, math like this scares me
Not gonna lie, as much as I want to be helpful and comprehensible, I am very proud of provoking that reaction image.
ladies give it up for the dodecahedron
“I don’t do math because I’m gay” “the gays can’t do math” “If I explain math on tumblr I’ll lose my gay card” all of you apologize to Alan Turing right now
The “+” in LGBTQ+ is for math.
It’s literally been years since anyone added something slightly clever or original to this post, so I would like to congratulate you and maybe even bestow some kind of award. I don’t have anything to give you though
It was simple addition, really.
in high school trig/pre-calc, did you have to memorize the unit circle?
yes
no
don't remember
didn't take trig/pre-calc

Expansion on the X-mas tree meme
hey bro can i ask you a question that will reveal a deep and fundamental gap in my knowledge of the world
of course bro opening up about your lack of knowledge and asking questions is the only way to fill in that fundamental gap

happy Halloween to this image that helped me understand logic gates
It's BOO!!-Lean logic!

Do you guys remember Numbers the TV show? It was a detective show where they used mathematics to solve crimes. I don't remember much from the plot itself but I remember I liked it back in the day. It made mathematics interesting and I started studying it and focusing more on that subject because the show made it interesting. I came so far as to find solving problems relaxing. Then, a new teacher appeared and his teaching method (I'm being generous calling it that) was so frustrating and humiliating that basic sums make me anxious. Like, I went from loving mathematics and finding it fun and relaxing, to severe aversion. I don't remember formulas or even how to multiply because that idiotic excuse of a teacher traumatized me so much that my brain simply blocked everything I've learnt until I met him. I even have to double check simple sums with a calculator, dude.
Anyway, I saw Shawn Spencer in Psych (2006) reference Numbers the TV show and it unlocked how much I used to love mathematics thanks to that show. If you're a teacher out there, be kind to your students.
