Re: [math-fun] How do you ask a question in mathematical notation?

I think you're missing the context of these sorts of questions, which is open-ended group exploration of a topic in a classroom, rather than students tackling work-sheets

All good retorts - I was assuming a one on one student-teacher exchange. Natural language questions might be even more dependent on context than other sentence constructions. Even things like an http GET request only have definite meaning in context of the questioner and entity being questioned. I'm more convinced of Allan's point that most questions belong in meta-(whatever field).
