    I gave you some ASCII for extra safety.

    I wonder if putting it in an addition table format might make it easier?

    I've been wanting to do some symmetry group stuff. Bookmarking this for summer. I'd need to play around a lot to see if I can find a simple angle.

    There is more than one valid solution.

    This is great for students who have strong algebra. But that idea of using increasing powers? It's really not obvious that's what's going on when you first start.

    But could one do something with... physical cubes and literal flat squares? That's Cuisenaire rods for decimal.

    Are there... base 16 Cuisenaire rods? Why not? hmm....

    Zero makes record keeping nicer and when you start using place value (as cuneiform does) to get more out of your limited symbol set ... zero make things less ambiguous.

    One needs a way to show which place the symbol lives in even if you don't have everything written in neat columns.

    @MxSpoon

    Ok what if I tell you

    ▷ is first

    WRONG: □▷▷ is last

    RIGHT: □□▣ is last

    I think that narrows down the valid solutions a lot.

    I apologize. I gave an unhelpful hint here. It's late.

    (I glanced over at the incorrect list.)

    Imagine you have been learning to count in base 2, 3, 4 just before being asked to do this.

    However, if the order can be explained with a few simple rules it's valid IMO.

    I'm hoping this helps:

    I don't know how well this puzzle will translate to a toot. Imagine each line is on a card: □□▷ □□□ ■■ ■ □■ □▷▣ ▣ □▣ ■▷ ■▣ ▣▷ □□■ □▷ ▣▣ □□ □ ▣□ □□▣ ■□ ▷ □▷□ □▷■ ▣■ □▷▷ Put them in order. (The 5th graders could do it, but they did have a helpful example first... There may be more than one solution, but I think there is ONE really good order. Can you find it?) (I should also mention that every adult I've shown this to gives up. But I only showed it to two rather grouchy teachers.)

    Yeah this is harder without cards to move around and put in arrays. But I think it's still possible.

    We have zero at home!

    They don't have place value. And they use... subtraction. But our students are very familiar with roman numerals for some reason (I think the PE staff uses them a lot?)

    I want to bring them out when it can be more obvious how strange they are.

    Change the symbols and I don't even know if you could do a sorting problem with them.

    This student wants to "invent a new zero" so. Watch out everyone. Math is about to get a lot more... IDK ... but MORE.
