  Another way to remember is that < is like a squished L, for “Less than”

  Sooo, does the crocodile face to the left or to the right?

    The lines are the crocodiles wide-open mouth… … but yeah, I’m not a fan of this kind of mnemonic. It requires remembering a heap of details, such as which way the crocodile is facing, and does it prefer to attack the larger number or the smaller number - and how the relates to negatives… Which I think is surely more difficult than just remembering that the large end of the wedge is the larger number, and the small edge of the wedge is the smaller number.

    That said, having multiple different ways of remembering something is often helpful, particularly when getting started. (I remember having a bunch of different ways to remember which was “left” and which was “right” when I was a child. But now I don’t think about any of those things anymore.)

    While in a vaccum this statement is true i dont think its appropriate here. Small things like this dont define how good someone is at the subject in question.

    Ehh

    • They tend to get the sign wrong, or straight up not know it and end every sentence with "or the other way around"
    • their room is a mess
    • they have a soldering iron and a box full of Arduinos/Rasberry Pis/ESPs
    • they have weird hobbys, (or none, because their work is sufficiently shaped like weird hobbys/obsessions)
    • they regularly say “local minimum” and “higher order effects”

    What did I forget?

  Indicative of the fact this approach is counterintuitive to our thinking, but we’re too stupid to adopt a new way to show it.

    It’s not. This is schools failing worldwide to teach math in an adequate form.

  According the old joke, and with no offence to scholars, the answer is :

  That is exactly how it is taught. Goog job.

  That’s exactly the same level as the crocodile mnemonic.
