    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'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.

    They do, when I was in school one of the common screening tests to tell if a patient is mentally coherent used to be visualizing time on a clock face. They had to change it about 10 years ago because a lot of people don't visualize time that way anymore.
