Fractions by hand are the worst

I honestly don't understand the purpose in making children know them: all calculators of any worth have a fraction key, all cellphones of any worth have a calculator and 90% of everyone has a cell phone.

Although what my 8th grade math teacher said about fractions that really made them click for me was this: The bar in-between the top and bottom number actually translates to "top number divided by bottom number" (he was very good about translating Mathese into English for things like that.)

About Me

This is a mostly fandom blog. Over the years I've been part of the Tamora Pierce, Harry Potter, Veronica Mars, and Gossip Girl fandoms and dabbled in many more. Currently I'm mostly into figure skating. I'm also an OTW volunteer. :)
