If I have a reason for each of them, does it mean incipient dementia or math teacher overexposure to Which One Doesn't Belong? #wodb (My reasons in reply)

Ad saying, "Dementia Test: If you can answer 6 to 10 questions, you don't have dementia. Which animal is different? Start now," with 4 pictures: a sitting rabbit, a standing deer, a standing dog with hanging ears and a short tail sticking up, and a cat (all brown).

This was not long before the tear gassing in Portland today. It wasn't the protestors who were out of control and dangerous.

You can see the tear gas cloud by the Portland ICE building. This was before we could feel it. #ICEoutforGood

Just went to multi-union anti-ICE protest near Portland ICE building. Big crowd, mostly nurses, educators, SEIU workers, & families. Resolute but calm & peaceful. Big strong ICE men were scared & tear gassed us anyway. I'm ok but won't soon forget elderly folks & babies in distress. #ICEoutforGood

Me with eye & lung irritation several minutes after getting tear gassed. Sign says ABOLISH ICE and Trump and Miller.

Informally, seems like it's both ("we're studying radicals"), but I believe more formally it's the symbol (not certain). Here's an example from the IM curriculum:

Math text quote including "In general, if a is any positive number, then a^1/2 = sqrt(a)... Remember, these expressions that involve the [root] symbol are often referred to as radical expressions."

Atheists like me have faith too, in the basic goodness or potential goodness of our fellow citizens. Let's show them who we are.

Math teachers, what do we think of this? Personally I would have advocated for “half or a third times as many,” but I don’t agree numbers can be decreased only by percentages and I’m not super offended by the original wording.

In response to a Washington Post article saying an adult would see “two or three times fewer stars every night than they could as a toddler,” a letter writer claims it is “impossible to see multiple times less of anything. Numbers can be increased by multiples, but they can be decreased only by percentages. One time less of anything is zero. If a toddler sees 1,000 stars but only 500 as an adult, that is a decrease of 50 percent.”

Big day on Wordle for me! I’ve failed to solve 5 in my history, but now that I’ve done 1000, that rounds up to 100% success. 😇

Wordle results - I’ve now played 1000 and solved 995, so it rounds up the decimal to report I’ve solved 100%!
