reading a bunch of articles on phonics and whole word reading and listening to old vi hart videos in the background and realizing that if there's an equivalent to phonics for math, i don't think we get taught it

#maybe the reason so many people hate math and find it difficult is because it's taught badly........ who'd-a thunk it #listening to vi hart talk about this math guy's triangle and how an odd number plus an even number is an odd number #but an odd number plus an odd number is an even number #and being like man why didn't i learn stuff like that instead of having to do Fancy Counting #now i gotta do algebra in order to remember how division works #obligatory disclaimer to treat this with a grain of salt and do your own research while i do mine cause i am not a Math Expert #and i have a very bad memory so i could very well have learned that particular trick and just forgot #i'm just spitballing here
