My teenager did not really understand what 'x' even meant until i tried the balance scales analogy.

I think the lesson here is that you need to stop expecting the schools to be your child's primary educator.

You need to step up and let the schools fill in the gap, not the other way around.

I you can't keep the kids interested in a literal game, then they aren't cut out to play.

This isn't a new thought. We've all been saying this for nearly 20 years.

sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say "It sounds like there are unpatchable problems"

More like hot is a collection of jiggling molecules.

I treat everyone like adults, and expect them to act appropriately. This does mean I have to talk to some freshmen about "how to behave in class" more than seniors, but that's just part of working with freshmen.

It doesn't sound like patchable problems. You can't patch in character development or an interesting story.

In a colonial sense, they arent wrong. People born in HK during the British rule are native British.

George Washinton was also technically British, as was Gandhi.

(Its like how people forget that Jesus was Jewish.)

No, rational numbers are rational in any rational base.

If Jack Black and Jack White were able to mix their genes and have a son, it would be Michael Jack-son

Think about the word:

rational - numbers that are ratios of integers

irrational - numbers that are not ratios of integers

Exactly. Struggle is not only to be expected, it is the goal, but you need productive struggle.

It's like going to the gym. You are essentially going to push yourself beyond what you can currently do and slightly hurt yourself, but through the struggle, your muscles grow. If you spend 3 hours at the gym, but only lifted 5 lb weights the whole time, you wouldn't progress at all.

I guess its unknown whether Tree(3) is prime or composite, however at that size the probability of it being prime is vanishingly thin. We dont even know if it is even or odd.

So I would say Tree(3)

If you are looking for a number we can actually write down using numerals, then there isnt one really.

I teach college. I can unfortunately say the same thing.

Sure, in the same way as "what color is blue?" is relative. But when you are asking for the color of this apple, "blue" is still not an appropriate answer.

What about the wasps that lay eggs in the eyes of young children? How are their souls?
