Renegade343 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 And for some reason, there is a section in that math textbook devoted to how to sketch a curve, as in: How to position your hand, how to position your pencil, what pencil should be used, how any points should be drawn etc. That's rather rare.

MechaKnight Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 At the very least someone cared so much as to teach readers to represent the curve accurately. Is the textbook a recent print? Oft times I'd expect such precision to be left to graphing tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krak_Nihilus Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I guess it's an old textbook, they kinda had to teach that stuff back in the days caus there was no excel to draw a curve for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nah_NotReally Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 My math book only tells me to solve its problems. I'm no psychiatrist, math book, have someone else solve your problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero.No.Hikari Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Though the bigger question is, will the kids know the difference between different types of pencils if they aren't into art/sketching. I asked a friend and he could only think of no. 2 Pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a friend and he could only think of no. 2 Pencil. I don't think so. Sketching can be messy at times but people strangely ignore it. They use a single type of pencil and just doesn't care about other types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
