-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Common core made an effort to teach kids to think about numbers this way and people flipped the fuck out because that wasn't how they were taught. Still mad about that.

There's ~~people~~aliens who would add 9+7 instead of 10+6 or 8+8 in their heads?

Weirdly enough, I just thought about using the methods here for the first time in my life earlier today. Weird.
