ADHD memes

I've always done it this way and don't have adhd

This is psychopathy. Clearly you just add the 1 to the 9 to make it 10 and subtract it from the 7 to get 6 and 10+6 = 16.

This is actually how my professor, who has a PhD in mathematics, does math.

My retarded ass: 9 is 0b1001 and 7 is 0b111, 0b1001+0b111 is 0b10000 which is 16.

Am kidding, I take 9's ten friend, sub-stract that from 7 et voilà I have 6 ones and 1 ten which is 16.

Holy shit.

Is that not how “normal” people do math in their head? How do they do it?

For the last fifteen years, the emphasis in math teaching is that all methods to the right answer are correct. Emphasis is on sharing all the different methods. (Canada)

9+9-2

I do it like 7-1=6 and 9+1=10 and 10+6=16

Me: so 9 is 10-1 so you can do 10+7=17 and take away one so 16

Your teachers are bad at their job. There is nothing wrong with that method. Now, if you also try to do 7+3 as 5+5, you might need to learn other method so next time, you choose a more efficient one. But against that would not be wrong.

Is this engagement bait to get all the people who do it differently because it worked lol
