1st-3rd graders are usually taught that odds end in 1,3,5,7,9 and evens end in 0,2,4,6,8. Actual divisibility rules are taught in 4th grade.
sugarcube97
Idk about you but I was taught about divisibility in 2nd grade
MrsFX
I would have said cuss if it halved or divided by 2 its even

Also the question wasn't "Why?" or "Why is this number even?", it was "How do you know?" "Because I'm smart" would seem to be a fair answer.

That is one of the rare cases where I am glad my first language is Finnish. The names we have for most of those are very literal.
TheBreadlord
Trapezoid = puolisuunnikas = A shape with two parallel sides
lyssapants
That's nifty, but I can't even pronounce that.
TheBreadlord
I mean.. It is pretty much as far away from the English language as one can get in terms of pronunciation. It is hard to learn but 1/2
TheBreadlord
If you are born with Finnish as your first language it becomes pretty much one of the easiest and most flexible languages.2/2
lyssapants
Well I guess anytime you learn a new language it's pretty hard regardless. But I don't even know what the ö sounds like. Haha
TheBreadlord
Rhombus = vinoneliö = crooked square. Pentagon = Viisikulmio = A shape with 5 corners.

trayohw220
Since it seems to be a geology test, they were probably looking for "water" or "erosion." But the strong force would be correct.

TECHNICALLYC0RRECT
I remember being pissed when I was the only one in physics lab laughing when the professor said "Strong force is strong."

I'm guessing they mean strong nuclear force. it's 1x10^39 stronger than gravity. Soooo yeah.

Even stronger with the milk of human kindness.
FilthyRedmond

arandompenguin
Depends really, past a few femptometers its strength drops off massively. 2/10 not a good question
gamewarrior48
It does have the highest possible force though, right?
arandompenguin
Yes
RealScienceMan
That's also sort of hard to answer, the upper limit of most forces in infinity. It does have the highest coupling constant though.

Actually the Weak Force is stronger than the Strong Force, but I can't remember if it is the strongest of the five.
DeadBirdsandBlindKids
Well shit, my guess was gravity.
DeadBirdsandBlindKids
I didn't realize that. Thanks guys.
inkpod
IIRC, gravity is the weakest but the farthest reaching.

The intended answer was probably "The Sun's gravity", but gravity is actually really weak compared to other forces.

BlueStringsAttached
The teacher: "It's even because the number in the ones place is even." That's circular logic shithead. It's even because it's divisible by 2
EducatedKitten
Divisibility rules do not come into play until 4th grade. Recognizing if a number is even or odd by identifying the ones place is fine.
averageideal
My thoughts exactly! -1 to dumb dumb teacher!
LordoftheBanana
Every Real number is divisible by two. It is when you can divide it by two to get a whole number that it is even.
[deleted]
[deleted]
Meltemi
11 is whole, however, which is the criteria LordoftheBanana specified for determining if 22 is even.
IHateApostrophes
The mathematical definition for "divisible" means there's no remainder.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Until you're armed with proofs from first principles, don't talk about "mathematical definitions".
IHateApostrophes
Making quite the assumption there.
LordoftheBanana
Where did you find such a definition?
IHateApostrophes
Which source would you agree is most reliable on this topic? Undoubtedly it has the same definition. Start with Google.
EducatedKitten
In any math textbook? There is a difference between "division" (which can yield any #) and "divisible" (which must yield a whole #).
jvgille
Wikipedia says: "the old-fashioned term "evenly divisible" is now almost always shortened to 'divisible'"
koopaya
Yeah no. My daughter is five, and she can tell if something is even by looking at the ones place. She does not understand division.
EducatedKitten
Which is fine at age 5, but eventually they need to learn divisors. I had a senior this past school year who didn't know her divisor rules.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Not for another 10 years. But it's easy. You put divisor down when disun is in your eyes. You put divisor up at night so you see stoplights.
EducatedKitten
It made HS math significantly harder for her. Teaching something at-level is fine, so long as you replace it with more specific info later.
SuperPickle17
So basically memorizing the set of even numbers? That's dumb. 5 year olds should know calculus already!
peoplepersonplacespeople
That is still illogical. Teaching kids to memorize rather than learn is an absolute waste and harmful long term.
koopaya
What you are saying is nonsense. Kids have to unpack individual theories and understand them one at a time before putting them together.
peoplepersonplacespeople
In the example given they aren't learning something. The teacher says the number is even because the number is even. How does that helpakid?
peoplepersonplacespeople
All they teaches us to blindly follow instructions, which crushes creative thinking.
EducatedKitten
No, they're saying the number is even because a very specific digit of the number is even. Which is consistent with the knowledge (1/2)
koopaya
Saying kids shouldn't bother learning because they don't understand the complete concept is counter intuitive. For instance, chemistry 2/3
koopaya
is taught to undergrads with simple models that are incorrect to help them understand fundamentals, then the "more correct" models are 3/4
EducatedKitten
Teaching kids to memorize a fundamental fact about the number system is "harmful long term"? There is nothing wrong with learning (1/2)
EducatedKitten
one way, and then going deeper in future classes. As a teacher, I can tell you that's actually precisely how math education works. (2/2)
peoplepersonplacespeople
As a person who does math for a living, I can tell you the way math is taught in school ruins minds.
themoonmadeofbarbequesparerib
or: kids can learn how it really works later and they'll be just fine. there is no "long-term harm" from looking at the ones place. jesus.
peoplepersonplacespeople
But, but... Science says once you learn something one way it's hella hard to relearn the correct way. Also why teach them this info...?
weliveinaspaceshipdear
As a teacher, I'm gonna sit back and let all these armchair experts make idiots of themselves.
IHateApostrophes
And that's exactly how you learn any advanced form of science too. The details are too complex until it's understood at a basic level.
peoplepersonplacespeople
Memorizing isn't understanding.
crazyhornedlizardlady
Anyone below 3rd grade wouldnt know what division is.
Theothercword
Well then they shouldn't be asked a question that has an answer involving division. Teaching the wrong thing isn't a good solve.
crazyhornedlizardlady
Its not the wrong thing though. Its not the whole truth but its not wrong. Besides with that thinking we shouldnt learn anything ever 1/2
crazyhornedlizardlady
Because the whole truth is more complicated than what you can understand. 2/2
FrankHorigan
The truth is out there, but so are the lies...
Theothercword
Okay, you're right, it's not technically wrong. But it's misinformation, and it's better to spend the time explaining it properly.
thorkild91
They displayed a level of understanding that is appropriate for what was learned. Ones place numbers. Grades based upon what teacher wanted

speedman
Would think so, the first question can´t be answered since he died in captivity.
LovelyLadyLumps
Seems like those 'read all of the instructions before starting' quizzes. its to see who reads them instead of jumping into the quiz.
LovelyLadyLumps
at the end it says "now that you have read all of the instructions sign your name at the top & don't do any of the quiz"
LilacDoozy
It appears again down the page differently:
triscuit3000
also in what universe are those not the intended answers for those questions?
Coolasslife
the first one is wrong. The correct answer is "Napoleon died in exile, not in a battle you stupid useless halfwit."
Kaysmira
"If you throw a red stone into the Blue Sea, what will it become?" Is there any answer other than "a wet stone?" Classic goofy Q and A here.
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
For those actually wondering, it's supposed to trick people into an incorrect answer involving something purple.
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
I think it may test the ability to follow directions. Read directions, last one says don't fill out the questions. Answering fails the test.
triscuit3000
usually those start out by saying "read each step carefully before starting the test."
justwatching
Years ago, if a kid got an "F" but was creative, the teacher could design a lesson plan just for them. Standardized testing killed that.
EducatedKitten
Administration still tries to push this (re-branded as "differentiated instruction") but standardized testing makes it difficult to achieve.
thorkild91
They still do, but it's necessary for them to know the info and not just work around it completely. There's a reason for somestandardization
justwatching
As I mentioned in another comment, this is true. But back then, the teacher's time wasn't monopolized for the purpose of test preparation.
