New math 1=2.5

[Mgderf]

I'm starting to understand why some kids are having trouble with math...

Or 1=0 and 2=1. My wife is a math teacher and gets so frustrated because early ed seems to be predominantly focused on language arts. Never mind kids do not need to know how to add.

You have to start them early if they're going to understand all the different sexes, -isms, etc.

Well people on this very site say "one is none and two is one." I can see why people are confused.

Well it's a little tricky but one pallet has two half pallets on it.
It's simply a matter of reading it correctly.

 

[COOPADUP]

A pallet of pallets so to speak.

 

[cosermann]

I looked at it and took the meaning as, "each pallet contains two, half-pallets."

Which makes sense.

 

[jkaetz]

So are there two half pallets sitting on a whole pallet? In which case 1 = 2.

 

[indykid]

Toilet paper is the same way, one roll equals three? It’s still one roll! Ugh

 

[printcraft]

Have you taken the gender of the pallet into account?

I like to help them learn by paying with cash and a lot of change.

If ones kid doesn't understand that two 1/2s make 1, you sent them to the wrong school.
