kearnsn.bsky.social @kearnsn.bsky.social · 06/08/2026This is the best way I have ever found to teach properties. Are numbers commutative in /mathbb{Z}/p? What does that mean?

And hooray you've taught them ℤ/p and are getting into interesting math. This stuff can be made accessible and fun for kids, we just force kids to memorize times tables until they declare forever they are bad at math 8482
