Also known as “Haiti Math”—voodoo is an unofficial religion practiced in Haiti. Math word problems that use zombies or monsters as their characters to teach dark problem solving.
An example of a grade two voodoo math question is: “The line graph shows the weekly number of zombies that were caught by the police during the six-week nationwide lockdown. Use the diagram to answer the following questions.
a) How many more zombies were caught in April than in May?
b) If the zombies were able to bite a victim before they were caught, what is the least number of zombie bites that took place during the entire lockdown?”

When both developed and developing nations are receptive to adopting a foreign or an alien math curriculum, or part of it, because of its rich or creative content—when they recognize that there is much to gain and no political agenda in embracing it.
Singapore, an island-state that has punched above its academic or economic weight, is using math as propaganda to endear itself to both rich and poor nations—its top ranking in international comparative studies like PISA and TIMSS adds weight to its mathematical credential.

We all spent the morning trying to figure out the problem and we finally called a math monkey in Accounting.
The company was looking for a math monkey that could not only complete the calucations but understood the formulas.
In Algebra 2 the math monkey understood things without opening the book.

Teacher: Watch some videos on Math Nation for homework!

Short for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Math.” Math products or services that right-wing math educators and MAGA parents have chastised for their “woke” content, and have called on their lawmakers to censor them from their states to protect the young minds from “foreign indoctrination.”
Some Singapore math publishers have apparently been warned by some white Taliban curriculum censors in some red states—they need to remove pages that promote multicultural or DEI math, such as depicting Chinese, Arabic, and Hindu numerals for the numbers one to nine, or stating that the theorem named after Pythagoras was known to Chinese and Egyptian mathematicians long before the Greek numerologist was born.
