This one was for graphing ratios in Grade 6. I used the idea of a perceptron updating its linear decision boundary (the "just-right" ratio that is ultimately graphed). These are attempts at making bread--not the most exciting but no one gives a shit about 'exciting' word problems.

The description--quoted from former congressman Samuel McCall--sounds . . . contemporary. All the more interesting that Twain believed it to be an "exact portrait" of President Theodore Roosevelt.
