@typhlosion I want this to exist and also I don't?
I'm bumping into students who are annoyed that their teacher told them x•x=x² ("there are two x's, so put a little ² over the x") but for some reason when they do the same thing and write x+x=x² their teacher takes off a bunch of points??
so there has to be some grounding the operations in a physical reality (or axioms) less arbitrary than "bishops/multiplication move diagonally and rooks/addition move orthogonally because that's what the rulebook says"
but there definitely seems to be something in this space that would be extremely helpful
puzzle game with shapes that have rules about how they relate to each other and how to move them around, and the goal is to get one of them by itself on one side of the puzzle, and aha - we tricked you - you've been doing basic algebra this whole time
doing a lot of killer sudoku has given me a knack for partitioning numbers into smaller ones that sum to them. maybe if we made puzzle games that required you to learn math concepts to play them at a high level, early math education would suck less. replace times tables with something fun that, as a side effect, makes you learn times tables over the course of doing it a lot

can superman canonically speak/understand any language other than english? relatedly, have there ever been any superman comics where he has to enlist help to understand someone speaking another language? it occurs to me that everyone thinks of him as such an uninteresting character because he can solve any problem, but that's not necessarily true if he can't be communicated to about the problem
