That's a new dance move right there
That one kid in the back (5th row) kinda looks like he's doing a "fake it til ya make it" lol. Even seems like he looks at his buddies answer first
My mom taught me math on an abacus, if I ever decide to have kids it's how they'll be learning as well. It's just a really good way to physically present math alternative to a purely mental construct. I honestly think schools should only allow an abacus or a slide rule until you hit college.
I honestly don't really know how people with purely western educations visualize math in their heads? It does kinda give you a bad habit of flicking imagery beads when you're doing mental equations, though that kid is especially spazy.
I don't agree with disallowing calculators until college, but only because many students take courses in highschool that require the use of graphing calculators and statistical formulas.
I've wondered if people who grew up when digital clocks were more common don't visualize time the way I do. "40 minutes later" is something that I see as an angle on a clock face.
