The numbers we write are just abstract shapes that have evolved over time to represent a quantity. As long as the teacher knows that Phoebe’s dragons represent the number 5 then there shouldn’t be a problem.
I ran into the same problem in college chemistry. I was told NO MORE submarines firing torpedoes out the sides of my sketches of flasks of liquids, no more polar bears and seagulls on the ice baths, no more drawing feet on the test stands (leaving a trail of footprints behind on the counter), etc. I was just trying to dress up some dull subjects.

At least you don’t substitute math answers with drawings of clowns with flamethrowers.

It’s both math and art. Phoebe calls it “mart”.

I doodled on my papers during elementary school as well. But I didn’t do it where the answers were supposed to be, or change numbers into anything.

The trick is to draw doodles so well that the teacher does a double-take and says “Whoa!”

At least it’s not on her desk.

Better than just choosing “C” for each question.

Phoebe, you can be the world’s first professor of Art-ithmetic.

Phoebe is going to be in a creative profession.Am I right?

I remember doing that as a kid. My teacher had the same problem…but she did commend me for the quality of the art at the same time.

Jim is nothing like the dragon Phoebe already met, who merely has a taste for electricity.

I wish my college students were that creative…

You may want to dial back that attitude a little, Phoebe.

I imagine Jim looks like Trogdor the Burninater.

Does the cartoonist pick the colors? I find it strange that the star on Phoebe’s shirt is barely visible.

I knew the Jim she’s describing – he was a sniper with the army…

I would do that on my notes not on the work sheets.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
