Taught in Florida. It was an alligator.

I know that you can pronounce the emoticon <3 as less than three and it has for whatever reason replaced the crocodile mnemonic.

Sooo, does the crocodile face to the left or to the right?

I still sometimes think of pillars of one building when I think of concept of "tomorrow" because seeing those pillars was supposedly the first time in my childhood when I heard about "tomorrow".

One of my favorite teachers taught computers and pointed out that the less than symbol is towards the side of the keyboard with smaller numbers.

And then here's me having to have my wife help my daughter with her middle school math assignments because they entirely mystify me.

I was being disruptive in first grade and kicked out of class then we learned this (ADHD and boredom). I tried to peak through the window and do the crocodile arms to learn it, but my teacher saw me and came out and told me to stand at the end of the hall. I didn’t really learn this until 3rd grade. Ironically, math was my favorite subject for all of k-12.

Didn't know so many people had trouble with this. To me they're as different as b and d. Never had to think about it

The version I got taught was gobbledy monster!

Directions are one of the most confusing aspect tbh. Bounding is difficult..

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Another way to remember is that < is like a squished L, for "Less than"
