This is hilarious. Some student has listed 47 really stupid "Things My Math Teacher Did Last Year" My 10 favorites, in numerical order, were:
7. Brought a rope to class and tried to hold it up to demonstrate different graphs rather then drawing them on the board. Complications arose when she realized that she only had two hands.
10. Told us that she offers extra credit points for every time you tell her about an "interesting" mistake you made on your homework. She also grants extra credit for not knowing how to do a problem and asking her how to do it. Since these assignments are not turned in, you are rewarded absolutely no points for knowing how to do all the problems and doing them all correctly.
26. Said that she might have invented the distributive property, but she wasn't really sure.
27. Some students lost points on their homework assignment for using logarithms to solve certain problems because she had not taught us that method yet. Other methods, such as guessing, were accepted.
29. Determined that 2000/400 was "probably" 5.
32. When the word asymptote comes up, she is the one who is quick to point out that it starts with "ass".
40. Told us that it's possible for a math problem to be its own grandma.
43. Said that Tuesday seemed like a "bizillion" years ago.
44. Told us that although we understood the problem, we'd probably get all confused again once we were further away from her aura.
47. When one student raised both their arms above their head to stretch, she asked the student if he had two questions.
