Look at this stupid maths question on Kidblog

[catinb00tz]

How ridiculous is that? Or am I being stupid?

Omg! That's really poor.

2/3 surely?

I don’t understand the issue? Isn’t it just 2/3?

?

Because it's too hard? What age is it aimed at?

The decimal should be 0.7? Is that right? Doubting myself now.

66.6% and 0.6 are not the same.

I dont see it either, last one 2/3, although the decimal should be 0.66 I guess

The decimal in the last one is wrong.

It’s not 0.6 though, it’s 0.6 reoccurring, ie 0.66666666 etc

Ooh I've just learned something. The dot above the 6 means the number repeats forever. So it makes sense!

66.6% is 2/3 but 0.6 is the equivalent of 60% which would be 3/5

(I think )

No - there's nothing wrong with it. The dot over the 6 in 0.6 signifies it's a recurring decimal.

3/5 , I don’t know why the boxes are all over the place though

The dot over the six indicates that it is repeated indefinitely.

It's a perfectly fine and accurate problem.

2/3?

What age is it aimed at?

66.6% and 0.6 are not the same.

There’s a recurring sign though so it’s correct

But there’s a dot above the 0.6 to indicate recurring surely?? So it’s 0.6666666 infinitely.......

Oh well that teaches me to not wear my glasses. Didn't see the dot

Admittedly you have to know that that’s what the dot means, I don’t know what age this is aimed at or whether that’s something they would be expected to know

Ah. Didn't notice the dot.

You’re incorrect. The question is correct.

The dot above the 6 in 0.6 means recurring, so it's 0.666666...

I don't think DS10 knew what the dot meant. He didn't mention it and I couldn't see it 🤣

Thank god my dd isn’t at school anymore!
