Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a book about a small child who is forced to solve RPGmaker puzzles, which is very impressive given that the book was written in 1865

Math homework is so much easier when you have time to let the problems marinate in your brain holy shit.

Last night these questions looked like the devil was asking me the meaning of life but now I am easily able to do like a third of them.

[spaceprincessecho]

Did a significant amount of the problems in undergrad by writing the problem and some definitions on a whiteboard and starting at it until some connections appeared.

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

[aromanticduck]

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

[spaceprincessecho]

and <i>this</i> is why some people should be alone, because we can't manage the reciprocity very well

[snowylynxx]

personally the lattice method of multiplication is the reason i hate math

[snowylynxx]

youre telling me that i can make some boxes with lines through them

solve the multiplication equation for each pair of individual digits and arrange them in the boxes just so

AND THEN ADD UP ALL THE NUMBERS IN EACH COLUMN AND GET THE RIGHT ANSWER????

[snowylynxx]

this post taught me that not everyone learned the lattice method in elementary school

[alexisjohnson824]

[wall-maria-around-ba-sing-se]

In grade school we learned the normal way to do multiplication one day and then the lattice way the next, except I was sick the day we learned the normal way and they never went back and reviewed it and neither did I and so to this day I only know how to use the lattice method

....What the ever loving fuck, this is really cool???? I have NEVER heard of this???

I swear the jump from the first to the second image is basically that "draw the owl" meme.

[ruffboi-mags]

Yeah it took me a while to figure it out, but I DID! So for me and you and everyone else going “wait wtf just happened????” I present a more step by step breakdown!

So you start with a grid with as many squares as needed to write one number across the top and one number down the side. And draw these diagonal lines through them. Yes you should extend them out the side.

THEN you basically multiply the numbers that match with each square, put the tens digit in the top triangle and the ones digit in the bottom triangle. Like so:

so once you’ve done that, you start adding up the numbers in the DIAGONAL column/row thingies from the bottom right up to the top left, like so:

You only want one digit (tho I assume if the very top/last row somehow gets 2 digits that’s ok, but ONLY in that position) and you’ll carry over to the next column, like if you were adding normally.

Then you start at the top left and just take all the numbers going down and around and put them together!

It does take up a lot more space and has a few more steps than the more traditional long multiplication, I think, but for people who struggle with that I think this would be a handy tool!

Here’s a screenshot of the more traditional style to compare:

I hope this helps! I had to figure it out on my own bc I was never taught this either. :)

[heroineimages]

Huh. I'll be damned. Reblogging so I'll hopefully remember how to do it.

[tiniestabyss]

I learned this way in school and switched to a school that taught the traditional way the next year and all the kids thought I was a witch

[ajzephyros]

I'm in my 30's this is the first I have been exposed to this. WTF.

[spaceprincessecho]

The box method feels a little simpler to me, but this is still good.

[epicsause-official]

i think we are long overdue for a game that does the reverse of 90s first person shooters and actively makes fun of the player for picking the hard difficulty

[epicsause-official]

heres kinda what i mean

I hear in the next version of math they're nerfing multiplication

[spaceprincessecho]

yeah we're just going to cartesian products. ordered pairs, right? fuck commutativity

If u could bring dead ppl back 2 life with magic like in video games the hollywood stunt scene would be out of control. There'd be professional snuff actors winning awards for dying the best. Producers would be like "If u need somebody to get killed in a film call up Resurrection Eddie, nobody gets killed as good as Eddie"

[spaceprincessecho]

do you think it's a more erotic sensation to get killed, or be brought back to life?
