You, an intellectual: 9+7=16

Me, with ADHD: if you take 1 from 9 and give it to 7 thats 8+8 and 8×2 is 16

Someone, usually a Teacher: NOT LIKE THAT YOU HEATHEN

This is literally how I would have done it

9 is a hungry bitch and takes one from 7, making it 10+6=16

VALID

my dyscalculic ass: *pulls out a calculator*

This is literally the best way to do it! My mom is a math teacher and this is EXACTLY how she teaches kids to add bigger numbers!

Making a “friendly” number that’s easy to add is how our brains work the best- finding patterns rather than mindlessly memorizing 9+7=16

And those teachers who tell you not like that???

Are the reason so many people hate math
