Get the National Mask Day mug.The use of small dots rather than a pen, pencil, or Sharpie marker to depict a numeral, geometric figure, formula, or math concept.
Even artists who are allergic to school math could demonstrate their numerical, geometric, or formulaic creativity through mathematical pointillism.

Get the Mathematical Pointillism mug.An ill-advised mantra math-anxious folks unquestionably take to heart on hearing it from negative or unhelpful people, who are only contaminating the minds of their listeners with fake mathematical information.
To tell someone to avoid pi like the plague is like telling them that π is a rational number because it can be expressed as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

Get the Avoid Pi Like the Plague mug.Not just Donald Trump, but practically everyone who has ever achieved some degree of worldly success, is a charlatan—people improvise as they go along, hoping that luck and success would conspire to be on their side until they become somebody blessed with many friends (and fiends and foes).
The biographies of many successful people reveal that when faced with hit-and-hope situations, they can’t help but to bluff or fake their way through until they make it—an oft-unspoken common denominator among many rich and famous people is that everyone is a fake at some point, when they’re still a nobody.

Get the Everyone is a fake mug.An antidote to “don’t worry,” which is an irresponsible act if you have bills to pay and a family to feed—giving in to more worry doesn’t free you of troubles tomorrow; it only saps more of your energy today.
Worry more won’t add a single hour to your life nor a single centimeter to your height, so why not worry less and cast your cares to Jesus, who promises to provide for those who depend on Him?

Get the Worry Less mug.Someone who is more likely to apply Singapore’s bar model method rather than use algebra to solve a word problem—when a “look-see” proof to an elementary math nonroutine question is conceptually richer or more intuitive than mindlessly juggling some symbols and numbers to find the answer.
With Singapore math being the foreign math curriculum of choice among many homeschoolers, teachers, and tutors, guesstimate the number of bar modelists in the United States in the last two decades.

Get the Bar Modelist mug.Singapore’s empty zones on the ground floor of apartment blocks, where children play in the mornings and senior citizens play Chinese chess or complain about unpopular or unfair government policies at dusk, aimed at encouraging communal interaction among the bored residents.
To what extent have void decks in the “fine” city of Singapore strengthened social cohesion and religious harmony among the different races in the last half century? Does it sound like another socially engineered attempt by the authorities to maintaining peace and order in the multicultural and multiracial island-state?
