Gregory's Server@hollie @hag Oh yeah, I absolutely hear you there. I've only recently gotten comfortable doing things like in a board game, if there's somebody real math-y playing I'll just go "cool you seem like math person, can you move my marker along the points board please?" instead of having everyone waiting while I count each space laboriously. It was always so stressful!
@Vidyala @hag Oh my gosh, YES! Games can be so rough that way! Many games require quick addition or subtraction as part of the mechanics, let alone scoring.
We play regular games with two close friends and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can stop and think, take time, and just say, "math pause, one sec," and they all know what it means and even the pushy person is like, "Sure, go ahead." 💜😂
I want to popularize this idea of Slow Math Kindness.
