ETA: Oh, lookit that, you can sort on both! How interesting.
Yep, by both/either.
It's not nearly as useful as sorting alphanumerically, because you can't do it automatically A-Z, you need to manually tell Excel "blue first, then green, etc etc"
But it comes in handy for me when I mark restricted stuff in red and want to put it all at the top so the client can clearly see what they'll need to replace.

I wish I could find a good way to teach students to do this.
What I like about the Lattice Multiplication is that it reinforces the importance of the 0 as a place holder. That's what messed me up on the other method, I didn't put in the 00's, I just wrote down the relevant numbers, so I got my columns misaligned.
I redid the process to double-check my math and got the same result, then I looked at the numbers I got when I multiplied the 1's, 10's, and 100s, and added them together with the relevant 00s. That's when I realized my 100s number was assuming too many 00s.
This may be related to why I can do tech support and others can't, I can break things down into component parts.

M teaches at a state university and all his students submit their papers in hard copy. For, you know, another bit of anecdata.
Man, I forgot how much I love plain old pita bread with hummus and olives for lunch. (Yogurt for protein later.) So good.
I'm curious about Lattice Multiplication now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yogurt for protein later.
And calcium. Calcium is important!

I see Allyson reinforcing my theory that if there is a hell, it's the jury pool waiting room.
I want to take a physics class from the husband of one of my friends. He will show a Simpsons clip at the beginning of class and the kids have to identify the real-life physics issues portrayed in it.
I'm going to push my kids harder on math than I did myself. Seriously--actuarial work is an excellent way to make a living.

Hummus has protein!
Only a couple of grams, right?

Depends on how much you eat, I think. But seriously, I thought chickpeas were a really good source of protein. Is that just something I read on the internet?
