So you all laugh. But at the right level of math these are very important concepts in engineering.
2.49 + 2.49 does equal 5. That is why we spend the entire first-year of engineering to study significant digits. We would round to the accuracy of the measurement device and probably express the solution as 5.0 so others know the result was rounded. So 2+2 might equal 5, which is why it is so important not to round your work early and to keep track of units and not take numbers out of black-box models without understanding their origin.
There are similar concepts in high-level statistics.
This type of thing is what every journalist and keyboard warrior and even doctor is doing right now with the COVID data. Which why all the data and models are fucked.
The problem is this social justice faggot has probably never taken any math, took his examples out of some SJW textbook and is using it to teach racism to 10-year-olds.
"Working to bring other perspectives from other cultures" =/= teaching sig digs
Honestly, there could be a salient point in the burger example in demonstrating the usage of unit conversions in equations (eg. 1burger + 1burger = 5dollars, dollars/burger = 2.50) however the way he has framed it has made it seem that he isn't teaching it that way.
How about 1+4 = 1. One fox + four chickens in the hen house = 1 fox in the hen house?

I think I said that. He probably attended a ProD day session or something and now thinks he is all smart shit. This type of thing is supposed to be about teaching critical thinking and thinking outside the box. IQ test type stuff. Not SJW crap.
Deeper into the thread, he uses a Wendy's 2 for $5 burger deal as an example of when 2+2=5.
