Halver
Still learning: equal parts (partitioning)

You're the teacher. Each of these characters is still learning one idea. Helping them figure it out is the practice — and the better you learn the subject, the more they master. Nothing is saved anywhere; this is just for you.
“Good teachers ask before they tell. Not sure who to teach? Start with one of these — I'll help you help them.” — Mentora, your teaching coach
