students practice math with texting

I used a math equation the other day, the only reason I remembered it was that I had learned it. Yet im pretty certain I worked less than 100, possibly less than 20 actual similar problems previously.

It occured to me that really easy, preferably enjoyable, math exercises could be a prequel to texting on the phones of kids with achievement oriented parents, who would specify the app.

A few references online say teenagers send more than 3000 texts per month(link). If the ratio of math problems to texts was 1:10 or 1:20 the teenager would do 300 instant rapid math exercises per month. as a lazy fool, I have to say that may well exceed the amount of math exercises I did as homework per month.

Now here is the sociobeneficial fun part. Any teenager could simply pass most of the exercises to another willing teen to accomplish, thus math specialist teens who casually did over 1000 math exercises per month completely voluntarily would occur. I think these people would tend to be unusually good at things as a result, benefitting society.
