@KT_is_Reading @JayWamsted From a high school teacher, a clock on the wall or a teacher periodically writing the actual time on the board was helpful to many kids, but a countdown timer completely stressed out a significant number of them. Took them off everything.

@mathequalslove We played that every year. Did 2v2 couldn't finish a full game in 45 minutes, but it cemented 4 names for each point and allowed a lot of fun trash talking

@Trianglemancsd Seems to me she successfully managed to "sit in a chair that is too small" and appropriately applauded. How fun

@misscalcul8 Not the most obvious path, and a few notational errors, but every step is legal. I'd give full credit.

@bowmanimal I'd second set, but may need to be more cooperative than competitive. Also tiny polka dots is good for under six, War works as math and blokus if cooperative game

@misscalcul8 Is he assuming the diagonals bisect the vertex angles? SAS usually works with law of cosine.

@untilnextstop @druinok JoAnns has a decent yarn selection. Yarn comes in different weights,( thickness). The hook size goes with yarn weight usually- the yarn wrapper will suggest a good hook size to use and your pattern usually tells you yarn weight and hook size

@Mrs_Meowmerz @theonides because you have both x and x^2 you use degree o for both--- prb could use x^2 with A +Bx but that simplifies to Ax and B /x^2
