@tandkaythespectrumway: Word problems in math are subjective to the context that they are used in. Technically her reasoning isn’t wrong and out of the box thinking like this is crucial for society. Unfortunately though this doesn’t line up with the public education systems agenda, and instead she was made to feel incompetent compared to others growing up. Can anyone else relate? #fyp #tandkaythespectrumway #autismawareness #autistic #latediagnosedautistic #actuallyautistic #audhd #asd #autism #math
My brain in school - 'Johnny has 14 apple and 16 pears' Me: Where did he get that much fruit? How is he holding them? Why does he need all that fruit? Does he have baskets? Ahhhh!!

Instruction: "Find the egg with colorful spots"
kid: "but this (the only egg with spots) can't be it because the spots are all blue!"

the thing is, we autistic people tend to overcomplicate those questions because we're used to have to look for subtext in EVERYTHING neurotypicals say. Nothing is easy, if it is we're wrong somehow

She's correct. I hated these questions at school. So ambiguous for Maths.

There’s 10, if 6 people sit in the 10 seats there’s still 10 seats, that remain at the table. It should ask “how many seats remain empty” for the answer to be 4

The implied is how many remain “available”. The word available is missing and being implied

It's like it's physically painful for the people writing these questions to write something like "how many seats are available?".

as a learning specialist I see this all the time, teachers that don't think about wording when designing questions. It annoys me so much

It's a semantic problem, not a math problem. She is 100% correct.

Man you are explaining this terribly. The seats aren't GONE, they're just no longer remain AVAILABLE. "Seat" isn't referring to the chair, it's referring to a place to sit.
