I hate the maths questions designed to trick you. Like throwing in a random negative question in some poorly written and incredibly clunky way.

"Billy has a box of ten apples. Jenny takes three. Timmy takes one and gives it to Jenny. How many apples doesn't Billy have?"

Or "Choose the least incorrect answer" after 20 questions asking to choose the correct answer.


Then you get to university and not once, ever, do they pull bullshit like that.

A lot of the weird or dumb or obtusely worded maths questions that end up on standardised tests are trying to assess kids' understanding of the properties of operations. You'll see stupidly contrived poo poo like "Billy has some money in his bank account. Then he spent $46 at a restaurant and $32 at the supermarket and now he has $65 left. How much money did Billy have at the start?" and what they're assessing (badly) is that you're combining things to get a total which requires addition, instead of subtraction which is what most kids think as soon as they see a problem that involves spending money.

This kind of problem is fine although a bit boring and contrived as a teaching tool, bit you can give kids materials to work with and model the problem and poo poo and they have time to hit that point of "65 - 46 - 32 goes below zero that doesn't seem right" and then have it explained to them or they can go back to their model and have another go or whatever. That's valuable learning.

But in a test it's stupid trickery, a lot of kids will get it wrong simply because they haven't read the question carefully or haven't thought about it carefully, so you're not getting a representation of their maths skills or ability.

anyway, TL;DR standardised tests are dumb as poo poo

I dream of building my own house over an abandoned missile silo.

Like a cute little ranch house and then behind the bookshelf is a staircase to a zillion square foot 20 story generic FPS video game level.

Finally a place to display all my funko pops.
