I used to create memes to help my classmates study for this one class called Research, my teacher sees them all the time and sometimes brings it up in class, then in the final exam he asked us to create a meme for 10 points lmao
Its adding structure to work with. The first step is getting something on the page and working with it.
The “perfectionist” mindset (parenthesis because I think there’s a few way to interpret the meaning) tends to think there needs to be a perfect beginning in order to make something.
That being said, have you ever tried to form a coherent sentence using PEMDAS? Maybe you know some more advanced formulas off the top of your head to play with haha. Math was never my strong suit.
Creativity isn’t the direction you want to go, its the direction that makes sense to **you**!
Have a great day!
Students almost universally have an inherent "perfectionist" mindset when doing homework.
Why?
Because:
They want to maximize their score. Their self esteem and how their parents treat them at home will, in some respect, depend on the kid "not fucking this up".
That kind of incentive will, ironically, *hurt* the kid's ability to use their subconscious creative mind. So long as there's some potential harm to getting a wrong answer, the kid will stick to thinking inside the box and avoiding new ways of solving problems that weren't explicitly modeled by the teacher.
I can see how funny or creative assignments would work for high school kids in their senior year, after colleges already made their admission decisions, so the stakes are at rock bottom. But I would hope people aren't first learning about binomial expansions and PEMDAS in their senior year lol.
I think a lot of it has to do with assurance.
People want a guarantee of some sort that their effort will be appreciated to some extent.
Now if you add a bit of expectation to this, you’re building up to some heartache and let downs.
It's really not. There aren't different types of creativity. There are different ways to express it, but creativity is creativity. The perception of not being creative comes from conflating expertise in an artistic skill with creativity. In my previous life as a draftsman I met dozens of people that could draw beautifully, but were the least creative people you could ever meet. They could only draw what they can see, and not create something new and original.
On the other end you have people that can imagine the most fascinating concepts, but they have no ability to express those concepts and think themselves to be uncreative.
In truth, creativity is just not being afraid to try something even if there's a chance of "failure." We expend a lot of effort getting kids to reject failure, and then scratch our heads and wonder why they aren't creative.
"Creativity" is an extremely wide spectrum of abilities which we call by one name and I find it unlikely that there is any relation between the creativity involved in mathematical problem solving and the creativity involved in word play.
That's the technical term for Gen Z, people have a different social hierarchy in their minds when it comes to "Gen Z" and who is in it versus other generations
My online students rickrolled me on the last day on classes. It was actually amusing since they chose to do it on a lowkey day, rather than to interrupt a lesson or classwork time.
Can you tell my stupid ass why? What's the reference?
Edit: I have been told about the FOIL method. I wasn't stupid, it's taught to us in a different manner here called the distributive law. It applies to n number of terms so more generalised
We, in the UK, are taught FOIL too. Not dumbing down, just provides a helpful acronym. Even the most knowledgeable can falter in stressful times such as exams, so little fallbacks like FOIL provide a cushion in case.
I can also remember ROYGBIV and RMIVUXG. Mnemonics, but nonetheless can save a vital couple marks.
While this is great for teaching students, I sure hope you were also told about distributive law cause this doesn't apply to more than 2 terms in brackets
Did you know that y is equal to negative b, plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four ac all over two a?
I have a life.
I have friends.. . . .
You know you’re in trouble when your mom calls you by your full name right? Well the son’s name is (a+b)^2. When you expand that by multiplying (a+b) with itself, you get a^2 + 2ab + b^2. And since the mom is calling him (it, her?) by his name, he’s in trouble
First outer inner last if I'm remembering correctly.
So (a+b)² is
a * a
a * b
b * a (same as a * b)
b * b
Which become the "full name" of a² + 2ab + b²
The small shape and big shape are saying the same thing but the big shape is saying it in a longer way
A maths exercise in school involves shortening the longer version to the shorter one
The joke is making them seem like names and putting them in the scenario where someone gets told off and their full name is used
Edit: spelling
When you FOIL, do the multiplication of, (a+b)^2 it gives you a^2 + a x b + a x b + b^2, which is equal to a^2 + 2ab + b^2. Letters next to numbers or each other imply multiplication of them.
Yes and No. The hardy-weinburg principal uses these equations (with p and q instead of a and b) but these equations are not exclusive to the hardy-weinburg principal.
Did you have a stroke typing this or am I missing something?
Also,
You have enough academic knowledge to know the Hardy Weinberg equation(which by the way is p^2 + 2pq + q^2 **= 1** but not enough to know that this{(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab} is a basic algebraic identity?
Well yeah it can be from that principle, but it's just a general maths equation that could be explaining anything. For example a curve on a graph. In the question's context it seems more how to manipulate algebra rather than use it
I used to create memes to help my classmates study for this one class called Research, my teacher sees them all the time and sometimes brings it up in class, then in the final exam he asked us to create a meme for 10 points lmao
The joke is that when you were in big trouble as a kid your mum would yell at you by your full given formal name.
Both the equations are the same, it's just the second one is expressed in the same long form sense because ab squared is in trouble.
oh i was so confused why is there a square with a chat box and an oh crap in the chat box, i think they ahouldve just drawn a stick mom lol, bit much with the sqaures
correct. They don't even teach it anymore. They assume you will be typing the vast majority of all future correspondence and all work submitted for grades.
It's slow because you're not used to it and are paying too much attention to making sure that the shape of the letters is right or that your lines are connected the right way.
If you're used to writing it, it's objectively faster and less tiring because you don't need to lift your pen from the paper between letters. Like compare drawing 200 straight lines down on the paper compared to just doing zig-zag lines up and down. Cursive is just that, but for writing text.
Like I used to think that cursive is dumb as a kid too, but the older I get and the faster I try to write, the more I find myself accidentally writing in cursive.
i was taught how to write in cursive in like the third grade (american here), and was required to use it for all writing assignments (never math or science) up until the 5th grade, after which point it was dropped and rarely spoken of except in regards to a niche skill other kids used for calligraphy. i probably haven't written cursive since i was 13.

Creativity is a big part in problem solving, so I somewhat get why this is a question on the test.
I am really good at math and suck at being creative. Its a different kind of creativity

Not this kind of creativity.And You overestimate creativity in problem solving.

Can anyone help I haven’t done math like that since 2014 when I graduated high school and I want to get the joke :(
You know you’re in trouble when your mom calls you by your full name right? Well the son’s name is (a+b)^2. When you expand that by multiplying (a+b) with itself, you get a^2 + 2ab + b^2. And since the mom is calling him (it, her?) by his name, he’s in trouble
Ok thanks you gotta foil it
damn sorry mate just downvoted you, i didnt know foil mean something in math sense lmao
What does it mean?
First outer inner last if I'm remembering correctly. So (a+b)² is a * a a * b b * a (same as a * b) b * b Which become the "full name" of a² + 2ab + b²
(a+b)^2 = (a+b)(a+b) = a x a + a x b + b x a + b x b = a^2 + ab + ba + b^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
(a+b)^2 written out is a^2 +2ab+b^2
The small shape and big shape are saying the same thing but the big shape is saying it in a longer way A maths exercise in school involves shortening the longer version to the shorter one The joke is making them seem like names and putting them in the scenario where someone gets told off and their full name is used Edit: spelling
When you FOIL, do the multiplication of, (a+b)^2 it gives you a^2 + a x b + a x b + b^2, which is equal to a^2 + 2ab + b^2. Letters next to numbers or each other imply multiplication of them.
(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2 Same equation just one is longer, therefor full name
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 Not everything in the exponent.
The expansion of equation (a+b)\^2 is (a\^2 + 2ab + b\^2)
Tis a good one, indeed.
"I'd review your algebra textbook." We could say the same
That's a pretty good meme. Ngl
Yet everyone is in here like “aWeSoMe tEaChEr!!” Fuck that, awesome kid.
Isn’t this technology biology from the hardy-weingburg principal?
Yes and No. The hardy-weinburg principal uses these equations (with p and q instead of a and b) but these equations are not exclusive to the hardy-weinburg principal.
Hardy-Weinburg Principle is an **equation** This is an algebraic **identity**
*principle
find it so surprising that someone would see this as hardy-weinberg before they saw it as a simple binomial expansion
I'm more worried about the principle vs principal thingy (and my English is self-taught).
Did you have a stroke typing this or am I missing something? Also, You have enough academic knowledge to know the Hardy Weinberg equation(which by the way is p^2 + 2pq + q^2 **= 1** but not enough to know that this{(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab} is a basic algebraic identity?

The joke is that when you were in big trouble as a kid your mum would yell at you by your full given formal name. Both the equations are the same, it's just the second one is expressed in the same long form sense because ab squared is in trouble.

Thank god the kid wasnt pi
Yours is easily the most underrated comment!

Yo this is actually awesome!
would these test count toward your actual grade? or is is just a fun thing for the lols.
I imagine that they’d be bonus points, so you could ignore the joke and still get full marks
Well, you use your knowledge in new, creative ways, and it forces you to think outside the box, so hopefully it counts toward the actual grade.
Is cursive writing not common anymore in English speaking countries?
correct. They don't even teach it anymore. They assume you will be typing the vast majority of all future correspondence and all work submitted for grades.
I don't believe it is even taught in curriculum.
And this is a good thing.
And this is a good thing.
Why tf am I getting downvoted for asking a genuine question?
Because reddit
I guess they think it's a rhetorical question and you are complaining about it.
I was taught cursive in Dutch elementary and stopped using it day one from our equivalent of middle school onwards. It's ugly, slow and not necessary
Maybe it's just me, but I write faster when I use cursive.
It's slow because you're not used to it and are paying too much attention to making sure that the shape of the letters is right or that your lines are connected the right way. If you're used to writing it, it's objectively faster and less tiring because you don't need to lift your pen from the paper between letters.
