Garfield Math

Doing math from a cat’s standpoint, or with the least effort. When a creative but lazy person is always on the lookout for a shortcut or hack to solve a math problem, so that they could have more time for leisure or rest.

Street-smart people tend to use Garfield math strategies to deal with their everyday quantitative challenges, compared to their exam-smart counterparts who prefer a more conventional or routine approach.

WFH Math

Short for “Working from Home Math.” When home-based teaching and learning of math is felt to be semi-ineffective or unproductive for most teachers and students, who are still banned from schools as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Some Puritan or Trumpublican parents wanted Mr. Putins to be fired after he mistyped “WTF Math” instead of “WFH Math” on the WhatsApp Teachers-Parents group.

Taiwan Math

Often mistaken as “China Math.” Little-known methodologies using 3D abacus and problem-solving strategies or heuristics, and non-Marxist or non-Maoist pedagogies, practiced by local non-drill-and-kill math educators in Taiwan, which are waiting to break free to enlighten the global mathematical community.

The global success of Singapore math has spurred cottage industries in math education like Shanghai Math and Korea Math, which have come and gone quietly. What about Taiwan Math considering that Taiwan is one of the four little dragons besides Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore?

Thailand Math

Math questions on food, drinks, and consumer items (toothpaste, lipsticks, skin lotions, etc.) that contain cannabis or its derivatives, which poses a health or moral threat to concerned or conservative parents, pastors, and politicians.

A raw math manuscript, which defines “green products” as those containing marijuana in controlled amounts, was leaked out to some expatriate teachers in an international school in Bangkok. One such Thailand math question is the following: “Two green cookies and a cup of green coffee cost 415 Baht. Three green cookies and two cups of green coffee cost 710 Baht. What much is a green cookie?” Answer: 120 Baht.

GPT Math

Any published or plagiarized content passing as new or novel that has been produced with the help of ChatGPT—a dark practice that is accelerating at an exponential rate among pirates in every corner of the globe, who are hoping to cash in before someone else beats them to the dirty game.

Are the days of Singapore math writers and publishers numbered with the advent of GPT math, as fake authors from India, Nigeria, and Pakistan capitalized on the wisdom of the virtual crowd to become GPTpreneurs?
