Why 0.999… Equals 1
A pupil's guess, 0.999… < 1 ?, sits on the board. The teacher multiplies 1/3 = 0.333… by 3 in orange chalk to get 3/3 = 0.999…, wipes the guess in one pass and writes 0.999… = 1 in its place, underlined.

A real classroom blackboard in deep ink green, with its wooden frame, chalk tray and wall: chalk writes by itself stroke by stroke in true stroke order, with pressed starts, sharp sweeps and footed strokes, and English in a single-line handwriting, with no hand or chalk in sight. White chalk carries the structure, one orange chalk tracks the one part the lesson is about, and a pupil's pale yellow guess is wiped away in one pass and rewritten correctly in the same place as the wet streak dries. The camera faces the board and pushes in from a wide shot of the room. Made for short lessons on one idea: where a word or character comes from, a misconception set right, a worked problem.
Use this styleTell us the one point of the lesson, the few keywords to write on the board (one line of Chinese and/or one of English), the part to track in the accent chalk, and whether a wrong idea should be written and then wiped and corrected. Give sources for dates, numbers and word origins. Everything is drawn in code, so no images are needed; the voice-over and subtitles explain, the board holds keywords only.
