Math topics that I wish were trending instead of PEMDAS:
1. How people compute problems in their head. Ex: How do you solve 14 x 5? How do you solve 17+18? What about 62-25?
This type of question trended once and it'd be awesome if it trended again! It's awesome to see how other people think.

2. How people use math in their jobs or daily lives, to show everyone that yes, math is used outside of the math classroom!
3. What is the first mathematical thought you have in the morning?
4. People sharing unit rates of grocery items to help us all out. Which is the better deal?
5. Cool math that we might’ve missed in school, like remember when we learned that percentages are reversible and how that made people excited?
6. People sharing pictures of math they found in nature, like symmetry, golden spirals, perfect circles, etc.
7. I would absolutely love to see how different cultures do math.
If math trends again, I hope that it's to show that math IS creative and cool, and not a "We need to remember the procedure" subject.
