@RogoNic My partner is American and she says they used to say three quarters as well.

@jakepwills @NZGrapher I just noticed now that the 3.8 Walker workbook is completely based on nzgrapher! Must feel good :)

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

Relieved our department just decided to spend the 50 cents per user it now costs to use @NZGrapher Well worth it! Will make time series so much more enjoyable. So spend it wisely @jakepwills 😛

Also applies to homework...

One of my former patients who notoriously was not the most adherent to her home program sent this to me this morning & I feel like this summarizes at least a third of my patient interactions with teenagers. I now intend to use “is that deception” instead of raised eyebrows

@DrHHNZ @Dr_IanGr @karlerikmohlin What, where, who? Look a squirrel!

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@DrHHNZ @ppgardne @karlerikmohlin I would say your answer was spot on (given the question actually posed) and perfectly in line with https://t.co/W7lZqt7MkE

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@DrHHNZ @ppgardne @karlerikmohlin Nice, turning the tables; also a great way to deal with #mathanxiety @DrHHNZ - recognise it and then engage anyways.

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

Ah so that's what calculus is! Recommended reading. Especially the "Now any fool can see that..." #iteachmath @EllipticKiwi #mathschatnz. .

[Erik Mohlin @karlerikmohlin]

To add to your bag of teaching tricks. And more generally a tone to emulate.
In particular thinking of you @MrFahlander

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@EllipticKiwi Oh that sounds bad, even without knowing what it means. Possible material for a tertiary level poster.

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

I want a poster like this (including the replies) #aklmaths #mathschatnz #aklmaths

[Jordan Ellenberg @JSEllenberg]

Unexpectedly solid math joke!

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

At least two spaces of maths wisdom (maths idiosyncrasies?) left... anyone in the NZ maths-twitterverse who'd like to add something? #mathschatnz @nzamt @elsubash @benhilliam @mathsmatter @AklMathsJam @EllipticKiwi

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@jedediyah @Mathowitz Or that the "=" signs means that the left and right side have the same value, unless you are programming, in which case it means that you are naming (or assigning) the left side of "=" by whatever you have on the right.

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@Mathowitz @LeslieVFL @jedediyah The whole poster

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@Mathowitz I took the liberty sticking this into a Canva poster template. Feel free to edit as you like. Here's the link. @LeslieVFL @jedediyah https://t.co/DVTQu7gf7v

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@Mathowitz "always remember and never forget", maybe?

[Fahlander @MrFahlander]

@Mathowitz Yep. So maybe one could say that 0 is something that's means nothing in Arabic numerals, and nothing that means anything in Roman?
