In a math curriculum meeting. Learning new words. Dice is not acceptable.

They are now called "6 sided number cubes" because dice are associated with gambling in the past. I'm not lying.

Are you allowed to call the dots on the cube faces 'pips'? Is Gladys...

All of this craziness is a symptom of too much affluence imho

Karen disagrees w/you, but I don’t. **

The group for my neighborhood proves your theory**

You're kinda describing Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs
Tafkam Hokie • 11/14/22 11:42 AM ET

I think you're onto something...

Needs an anagram **
TomTurkey • 11/14/22 10:29 AM ET
The color scheme is also very problematic. We need equal representation
HokieNoVA • 11/14/22 10:28 AM ET
I have a sudden urge to break out my Backgammon set and roll my DICE! 🎲🎲**
No_Limit_Hokie • 11/14/22 10:23 AM ET
Wow. Some bureaucrat somewhere has too much free time
HokieDan95 • 11/14/22 10:15 AM ET
For some reason I'm always surprised at the lack of pushback this sort of
HokieNoVA • 11/14/22 10:35 AM ET
Don't worry, I'll still call them dice.
HokieGator • 11/14/22 10:40 AM ET
School boards across the Country are filled with some of the worst human
vt90 • 11/14/22 10:40 AM ET
Either someone is sitting around just imagining ways people
Tafkam Hokie • 11/14/22 10:25 AM ET
so, you're saying... no dice?**

Did you just start laughing hysterically out loud?
vthokieq • 11/14/22 09:44 AM ET
We all did.
HokieGator • 11/14/22 09:56 AM ET
Lotteries are also discriminatory. I learned that last week. **

B777Fr8Dog • 11/14/22 09:36 AM ET
No shirt. No shoes. No six-sided number cubes. **

Wonder how many get the reference?**
EDGEMAN • 11/14/22 09:58 AM ET
Probably gotta be at least 45. Maybe 50. **
RoswellGAHokie • 11/14/22 10:30 AM ET
Just make sure you don't teach the kids anything they will actually need ..
vt90 • 11/14/22 09:27 AM ET
6 sided number cubes? Are there cubes that have more than 6 sides?**
JoesterVT • 11/14/22 09:25 AM ET
Serious response what about those D&D "dice" that had 12 or 20 sides?
HokieForever • 11/14/22 09:37 AM ET
Yes, they are dice. They have been universally abbreviated by gamers
Tafkam Hokie • 11/14/22 09:44 AM ET
Yeah, that is probably discriminatory as well.
Tafkam Hokie • 11/14/22 09:31 AM ET
I'll wager the term "regular polyhedron" is not in the curriculum.**
HokieJay • 11/14/22 09:37 AM ET
That's discriminatory **
TomTurkey • 11/14/22 10:33 AM ET
Yeah, you can't say "regular."**
MP4VT2004 • 11/14/22 11:19 AM ET
Good question - redundant description.**
