College level algebra, but it involved a little required knowledge of geometry.

Sometimes you can't automate this stuff and still teach the student well. With a hand written sheet of paper the instructor can follow the logic and understand different but correct answers! (The whole point of my gripe... LOL)
It’s much more than the answer. It’s also how you arrived at it.

There’s a lot of way to tackle a problem. That’s the learning, IMO. Not how to calculate something.

Just blindly following a teacher teaches you nothing but how to follow a teacher and how they want something done.
 
Just a thought, may I suggest a jar where the 5 bucks could accumulate?

After a year, or 1,825, take a trip!

Come to think of it, a trip or a few hookers?

I’ve been trying to teach the kid who leases space at my farm about saving money since he was having trouble making the rent.

I always see him w a soda or pizza so I told him this basic math.

I guess I shoulda told him about the hookers too!! 😂😂
 
The only accident I had in the snow was a slight tap. A girl in front of me made a turn, slid and hit the curb and came to a dead stop. I just tapped her bumber thanks to anti skid brakes. I could stop quicker with my foot on the brake as opposed to pumping them.
I’ve had one scary experience but was ice rather than snow. Didn’t really see it and got lucky. 😅

Which is why I don't like these online systems. Write a function that meets a specific criteria. Fine, but doesn't like pi()/5, or two spaces in the answer somewhere. Or does it not like the way you factored a fraction.

An on paper answer could show the work, answer, and allow the instructor to ignore extra spaces, or if you divide pi by 5, or leave as a fraction.

Leaves a lot to be desired. Almost as fussy as doing math in C...

Mmmmmm. Pi….
