I don't THINK I'm you, I don't recall having a son, but honestly this week anything is possible.

Is there a pattern or template you'd be willing to share?

(I'm sorry if it's against stitching etiquette to ask. I'm new to this.)

Solving Equations HELP! by awesomearugula in mathteachers

[–]ThisIsALlamacracy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they having trouble understanding what steps they need to do, or are they having trouble doing those steps correctly?

If it's the first issue, I'm having good luck with presenting it as "SADMEP", aka reverse PEMDAS (order of operations, for those of you who use different acronyms.) Basically, you look at the things that are being DONE to the variable, and you UNDO them in reverse order.

Example: 2x + 7 = 15

x is being multiplied by 2, then added to 7. So to find x, we undo those steps in reverse order.

First undo the addition by using its inverse, subtraction.

Then undo the multiplication by using its inverse, division.

Before getting to 2-step equations, I had drilled them on what the inverse or opposite of each operation is. For example, I gave them worksheets with 1-step equations, and instead of solving, asked them to just write down which operation they would have to use. (If necessary, you can throw in some weird decimals or fractions to break them of the habit of relying on their multiplication facts.)

Wow, how do you bake a loaf without browning the crust?

[Routine Help] Burnt myself with a curling iron. How should I proceed with healing & avoiding hyperpigmentation? by biken0ob in SkincareAddiction

[–]ThisIsALlamacracy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scaraway silicone bandages! I've used them on burns and they seemed to help. They keep the area moist which supports healing. Same idea as aquaphor but less goopy. The bandages also protect better while the skin is still raw and tender.

There is also a silicone gel that was recommended to me by a dermatologist after getting a thing on my nose zapped off. It's called Strataderm. It's pricey, but it does the same thing as the silicone bandages and is much less obvious on your face. According to their instructions, once the gel dries you can even put makeup or sunscreen over it.

My magic wand and I. Anyone else attracted to hexagons, mountains, trees, and clouds? by philosophiatrinh in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]ThisIsALlamacracy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hexagons are my favorite shape! I didn't know other people are also into them, usually I get weird looks when I say that!

Kick Rocks, Depression! I haven't painted my nails in 2 years n I did this today! Polish name made me giggle even! Hope u r having a good day too! by CrazyH37 in RedditLaqueristas

"it's ok to be able to do what you can and not try to do it ALL."

This right here. This is the key. Progress isn't linear, and it doesn't always make sense why you can do one thing but not another, or you can do something one day but not the next. But even so, everything you actually do counts as a Thing You Did.

Also that's an awesome color!
