can i get a hint on that last one
My daughter was doing math, basic second grade math, but the way they teach kids to solved math problems now is just not how we did it 30 years ago, and so when she has a problem, 9+8, and she's supposed to show her work, I have no idea the methods or anything that she's using and I am zero help to her.
Definitely not going to ask an AI though, that's silly.
That 9+8 thing holds true even when helping kindergarteners.
By "show your work" they mean "draw 9 blue pens and 8 red pens and then say you counted 17."
Teacher do it that way during class and wants everyone to do same but we don't have the context so us adults overthink it.
It's the same as 10+4
"Incorrect. 10+4 is equal to 14. However, 4+10 is equal to 14. So yes, 10+4 is the same as 4+10."
