I was making grits the other day. The can had instructions for 1 serving, and 4 servings. I didn’t want 1 or 4, I wanted 2. So, I wrote a quick interpolation program on my Casio. Once I ran it, I realized 2 is just double of 1.
I feel like a number of the concepts in this infographic are loosely (if at all) defined. As in - they don’t represent established concepts in education and they could have been made by a single party talking out their ass. Or maybe I just have dyscalculia.
I don’t mean to discredit Dyscalculia as a thing. As a matter of fact, I transposed a bunch of numbers that I shouldn’t have in high school math in spite of sound logic for how I went about the questions. I just have issue with the rest of the infographic being things you can identify with without them having a foundation in science. It tastes a little horoscopey.

I have textbook dyscalculia. I am a geospatial wizard, but I cannot remember my pin or calculate a tip.
