By the pricking of his thumbs,
something wicked this way comes,
he makes a speech on doing sums.
See the grinning little man,
he likes sums because he can
tell the diff'rence between cos and tan.
Do not be an arty fool.
Do your sums 'til you leave school,
and never forget the BODMAS Rule.
He is so pleased in large amount,
to drown us all in knowledge's fount,
we will be numerate, but will not count.

When we do maths games I'm always being told I'm not using the BODMAS rule, or it is why I don't understand the answers in the book! My husband is an ex-Maths teacher! I don't think I was taught it in school despite going as far as Additional Maths GCSE. Rhiannon

"we will be numerate
"we will be numerate, but will not count". We do in discrete mathematics it can get very tricky.
Doesn't sound like my classes.
See you!.

To count without counting
To count without counting falls in combinatorics and then under discrete mathematics. It is unbelievable what they can do with generating functions.
All the best! Blame it on the teacher that's easiest!

PS I don't know this BODMAS Rule I think we called it TATASS or something.
