The use of emojis instead of letters or symbols in questions, equations, or expressions as an attempt to lure those who are not so symbol-minded to math.
An example of emoji math is to calculate the value of each item from the following pair of equations:
2 ๐ฉ + โ๏ธ = $3.90
3 ๐ฉ + 2 โ๏ธ = $6.60
Answer: ๐ฉ = $1.20, โ๏ธ = $1.50.

Think of maths and times that by 10, no pun intended, this is by far the worst torture any child could face. The person who created this was rather the devil himself or just a huge maths geek. They took the child out of childhood. They even put an โxโ at the end to try and be funny, haha! This website though, is the biggest waste of my life, you have to write everything down even if you know the answer. Most of the math nerds in my class think itโs great but the small minority of people with common sense (like myself) realise what garbage this website is. if your school just signed up for sparx maths, rest in peace, my friend
โWanna go to the parkโ
โSos bro gotta do my Sparx mathsโ
โHaha, good luckโ
โIt was nice knowing youโ

The use of marijuana or illegal drugs as a means of relaxation, or as an outlet for creativity, among the best brains in academia to crack those fiendish math problems.
Itโs a common sight to see that a number of first-rate mathematicians are heavy smokers, especially when they need a break from their half-baked proofs; however, less commonly known is that the more daring ones would consider marijuana math, hoping for an aha! experience in the process.
