For math classes I think it's more pertinent to focus on functional
interactions and not on IO issues, and that was what I was trying to get at.
I'm enjoying this thread.

I absolutely agree with this.
In about 5 weeks I'll be giving a California Math Council presentation that
I titled *Fractions are Objects, not Unfinished Division Problems*.
I submitted the proposal
Continued fractions do, especially:
IDLE 1.2.1
from __future__ import division
1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1))
0.61904761904761907
1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1))
0.61538461538461542
1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 +
I agree with this
1. The importance of 'computational thinking' as a math standard
2. Python as a vehicle for this
But it is important to make a distinction:
a) a math formula represents a relation between objects and the objects math
speaks about (with very few exceptions) do not have a
