                                        So this happened some time ago, but I'm new to the community and I thought I should share. After discussing my lineage with someone, an acquaintance, he commented that he too was part Irish. 1/8th Irish. He then commented that he was 1/3 Jewish. I spent a great deal of time trying, as much as I could, to explain that this was impossible. He insisted (somehow) that he was in fact, exactly. 1/3 Jewish. I decided that whatever the case was, he was 0/3 good at math. Father's father: 100% Italian.

                                        Number One: I was just ranting in my personal journal about this common mistake I see in communities a lot, so much so that it's turned into a pet peeve:. Http:/ science.slashdot.org/science/0. ETA: Here's a transcript of the call: http:/ verizonmath.blogspot.com/200. Number two: I was ranting about it because of this interesting essay on the attitudes surrounding innumeracy in North America. If you don't agree, keep reading to the bottom; there are some well-written rebuttals:.

                                        I couldn't think of a good reason why a 23 year old would not know how to measure 2/3 or 3/4 given a 1/3 or 1/4 measure. Then someone explained it using a pie example, and OP got it, and said that s/he'd never had it explained like that. My teacher cut up apples to show us fractions in grade 2 (age 7-8). I never thought of my school system as being very competent - maybe it was only my teachers who rocked. In grade 8, the teacher couldn't get through to my class about intro to algebra (x 3=7 - what's x?

He said it was on the condition that he gets to keep it if it goes to No Award, but I don't think he can make that stick. 2015-08-09 01:23 pm (UTC).
