Bless these bones

It's too cute! Gingerbrave's on his shoulder with Floette on the opposite side. Gingerbrave's got that cute wide-eyed awe look he has sometimes, learning about Pokemon.

Wizard Cookie is on the arm of the chair, studying the book very seriously, while White Lily is on the other arm looking up at Floette in amazement.

Pure Vanilla is following Shadow Milk in worry, while Shadow Milk is flying after Sigilyph because he's never seen such a mixed up creature. Hollyberry and Eternal Sugar are petting a Swirlix on the windowsill, Silent Salt and Dark Cacao are standing guard with Golurk at the door. Elder Fairy is very satisfied as they learn Fairy beats Dragon in this world, and Pitaya is outraged (lol). Strawberry cookie is touching the book as they all look at a picture of a Porygon, sparkles in her eyes because it 'looks just like' her games.

WHAT THE HECK MAN

I was thinking about the concepts the author proposed before I even remembered it was supposed to be math. I am now aware that math is a natural human thing to do. Having fun sorting your bag of marbles into groups of different sizes, seeing how many marbles can fit in the bag, rearranging shapes to fit into a larger shape. FUN STUFF IS ACTUALLY MATH. oh my lord, I love what math actually is and hate what stupid factory-focused school has done to it. Maybe it's better outside the USA but I doubt it.

May the universe be kind, because we've sorely wronged it. ;^;

It's imagination. How do you figure out how to put all your tiles symmetrically on your oddly shaped floor? How do you rearrange these blocks to leave exactly the right amount of space for this little triangle piece? It's putting the process of that logical journey into a visual form.
