Sleep Math

--The method of calculating on your fingers the possible number of hours you can sleep after being up later than you wanted.--

Sleep Math is usually only done when you know you have to get up early, wished you could just sleep in, and are stressing because you're afraid you might not get enough sleep.

With a normal, not exhausted brain, you could probably do this math in your head. However, since you are tired you have to go back to how you did math as a child, counting on fingers.

(Couple intended to go to bed 'early' this particular night, and instead, stayed up way late talking & watching old episodes of The Sopranos.)

After finally brushing teeth and getting ready for bed, girl notices guy using his fingers to count something, like this 30+ man is all of sudden a 5 year old--

Girl to Guy--"You must be doing Sleep Math"

Scissors Math

When math publishers resort to retrenching editors and shelving new manuscripts in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, thus shattering the dream of both novice and seasoned math writers.

In spite of financial assistance from the government to help businesses save jobs, a number of family-owned publishers worldwide are enacting scissors math measures on the pretext of preventing their companies from going under.

Thou Shalt Not Mask Your Math

The unwritten or unspoken commandment for math educators worldwide not to conceal their weaknesses or deficiencies, or to pretend that they could figure out the answers by themselves; instead, they would be wiser to turn to their Creator, the Greatest Mathematician, for wisdom and insight to solve their logical, psychological, or mathematical difficulties.

If more math teachers, writers, or editors were to put into practice the “Thou Shalt Not Mask Your Math” commandment, they needn’t frustratingly spend so much time and effort in solving their mathematical ills, because the Holy Spirit could in a twinkle of an eye reveal to them the solutions, which would otherwise have taken them a hundred or thousand times longer to figure them out.

The Wokenization of Singapore Math

When white Christian nationalists or ultra-MAGA patriots subscribe to the radical pedagogy that adopting (or adapting part of) the Singapore math curriculum would only adulterate theirs, because exposing local students to alien problem-solving strategies and heuristics under the guise of multicultural math or ethnomathematics would only give undue credit to foreign curriculum math specialists and publishers.

A number of white or “woke” curriculum censors are covertly working hand in hand with American textbook publishers to push for the wokenization of Singapore math, with both parties having a vested interest to ensure that dear inch-deep-mile-wide K–12 math textbooks rather than value-for-money foreign math titles inundate as many states and local schools as possible.
