    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 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.

    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.

    The nice thing that happened in class today:

    Grade 5 students solve a puzzle where they put cuneiform numbers in order (there is no guidance, just work with the symbols, how do you order them?)

    I told them they are like archeologists cracking a code. They did it!

    "But where is zero?"
    "It wasn't invented yet." I said this seriously. I mean ... it's true.

    Later that day the same student asked if it was a joke. I got to tell them no! Zero had to be invented. Everything had to be invented!

    We have done that. I need them to be able to encode characters in binary, or understand how the system we write does that.

    Thing is then when we get to hex they are upset that A and F are not "digits" but ... maybe.

    Bases. (decimal, binary etc) are best explained through examples.

    "You can only write three symbols in base 3. These are: 0, 1, 2"

    So you count: 0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12 ...

    I think the word "symbols" is confusing, but so is "characters"? Students don't think of numbers or letters as "symbols" or characters. The card sorting puzzle helps with this. But I'm always refining the language:

    How would you put this as plainly as possible?

    @Harleck

    I think desmos can fill that role. It’s pretty good. Give it a chance.

    I’m just a little frustrated to be the only person who is laser focused on how much it has changed: and what those changes might mean for our courses!

    Unexpected changes in a user interface are also a safety concern. People may have strict procedures based upon an in interface working in a certain way.

    Furthermore, I think it’s an accessibility issue. I know several blind people who count on certain touch-screen buttons presenting in the same location and doing the same thing.

    Students have no access to an LLM when their device is in test mode. The college board has issued specifications that (in theory) any OS developer could implement so they could be approved as a testing device.

    it’s all very “other brands are available” per British television standards.

    As a teacher, my primary concern is ensuring that students can maximize the effectiveness of whatever tools are permitted.

    Yes. It's just not what I hoped for... and syntactically a little odd.
