- Math Mistakes, a project from Michael Pershan, who’s also killing it on the blog-front lately.
- Geometry Daily, “a new minimal geometric composition every day,” each one worth framing and hanging alongside the hunting trophies at dy/dan manor.
Keep it up, everybody.

Idea stolen shamelessly from Michael, of course. So brilliant!

Oh, wait. Somebody already made that.

Students go through and if they make a mistake in Algebra:
1/(x+1)=1/x+1/1
they often get told they can’t do that.
but they don’t get an explanation of when f(a+b)=f(a)+f(b)
