    I feel for Velma. I am so bad at math that sometimes I go into a corner by myself so I can hide what I’m working on from my coworkers while I scribble down very complex maladaptive strategies I’ve learned to solve simple calculations.

      I have textbook dyscalculia. I am a geospatial wizard, but I cannot remember my pin or calculate a tip.

        I feel like a number of the concepts in this infographic are loosely (if at all) defined. As in - they don’t represent established concepts in education and they could have been made by a single party talking out their ass. Or maybe I just have dyscalculia.

        I was making grits the other day. The can had instructions for 1 serving, and 4 servings. I didn’t want 1 or 4, I wanted 2. So, I wrote a quick interpolation program on my Casio. Once I ran it, I realized 2 is just double of 1.
