Just kill the fucking turkey and cook it for dinner!

DWB · 11-24-2010, 12:02 PM

Seeing this shit confirms that I made the right decision by being a deadbeat dad. My kids, where ever they are, are on their own. Adapt or die kiddo.

fusionx · 11-24-2010, 12:08 PM

This thread actually scares the fuck out of me. This is so simple!

DirtyDanza · 11-24-2010, 12:11 PM

thanks everyone...

Look I can do math with the rest of them.... I may not be an expert but I can hold my own....

I think along with everyone else this was worded wrong..... and I just know that if it can confuse me... (someone who has dealt with problem solving for years" think what it does to a child student ....

anyways we had fun doing it... I was able to ad some cool little drills to do with it on an extra sheet of paper...

again thanks everyone who helped... and to those who said it was so simple... great please be on here when I post the next confusing one

PR_Glen · 11-24-2010, 12:11 PM

i tried to work it out in my head but ended up with a crayon in my nose... what next?

TurboAngel · 11-24-2010, 12:18 PM

So did he get an A or he'll have to wait and see?

PornMD · 11-24-2010, 12:25 PM

OMFG...yea I was a math major, but this was seriously that confusing to some of you?

Pop quiz - prove that if pizzas were flat 2-D objects, there are no 2 whole numbers x and y such that 2 x-inch pizzas = 1 y-inch pizza.

j/k...I realize that math is neither a strong suit nor a necessity for some people. Just like some people can draw masterpieces and I'm usually relegated to stick figures.

beerptrol · 11-24-2010, 12:27 PM

Hire the asian kid in his class to do his math

not confusing once I figured out the right way to do it... but at first yes... I mean I know how to subtract 12 - anything

just was not sure the starting number of what we subtract from it was not clear in the instructions

fatfoo · 11-24-2010, 12:29 PM

I think the answer is humans should not be eaten by humans in cannibalism.
The half turkey half human creature looks interesting.

I think the issue wasn't so much that the instructions weren't clear, it was that in everyday adult life, everyone does subtraction top to bottom, so with that you and some others were trying to apply that to the images thinking top row minus bottom row in each section.

classic gfy thread right here. bookmarked.

czarina · 11-24-2010, 01:44 PM

it's not ROLL A DICE
so no rolling the dice
simply substract 4 from 6 in case #1. 6-4=2

selena · 11-24-2010, 01:47 PM

This thread has given me plenty of laughs.

And not at the OP for posting it. Hell, I have to pay a tutor because I can't do the boy's Algebra 1 with him. I am past brain dead in math.

It's just the effort that has gone into figuring out 1st grade math, complete with screencaps.

Dice is plural of die and the first thing it says is "roll a die".

to see the glass half full though gfy is helping.. so thats always a positive

SexSearchSuzanne · 11-24-2010, 05:50 PM

I have a science degree and I couldn't figure it out at first either ... there is something about the wording of the instructions that is just confusing. As someone pointed out, it was probably something to do with the two separate rows and us wanting to automatically make that the two separate numbers.

And for the record I use math all the time since I've finished school, I use ratios frequently to figure things out. The person who posted that math is useless is really missing out on some useful tools in life.

beerptrol · 11-24-2010, 06:07 PM

get used to it, you'll get these kinds of assignments up to and through 5th grade.My gf is always bringing me her son's homework to help him cause she can't figure it out. lol

Dead · 11-24-2010, 06:37 PM

Even when you roll a die, there are 5 possible numbers showing, wonder what one you would use to subtract from the acorn total showing in the picture? One would assume it is the number on top of the die, but when would a 1st grader know that was the right one?? This problem is failed on many levels, hence there is no right solution, put 6's all the way down in the answer blank and dare that bitch to tell you you are wrong!

These days you might be right - for the simple fact that board games like Monopoly and Sorry that used to be family staples that parents would play with their kids are probably going the way of the dodo right now, so who knows if a 6 year old kid would have even seen a die before this assignment.

Yeah I probably should link it from my sig, but wanted to save Rochard a little embarrassment.

Varius · 12-07-2010, 02:18 PM

Some of you are looking way too deep into this "new math" BS.

The most likely explanation here is that whoever created that page, was lazy and/or thought their vague directions were perfectly fine. They possibly even thought that more instructions would confuse a 1st-grader.

To use an analogy, it'd be like someone asking of a programmer a task with specifications that just say "make a form that sends an email" - leaving the entire thing up to interpretation.

Why do they have to roll a die? For the same reason the page is designed with acorns and a turkey - to make it more fun for kids to do, so it's not seen as boring and thusly hated by them.
