It's OK to sign it this way!

The signs -  BASE, IN, NOTATION, VARIABLE, REPEAT (lack of degree repeated(ly)), SIDE, FACE, FIGURE, TO, and UNIQUE  are conceptually incorrect.


**English word order does not help the students to visualize the setting and can cause confusion in their minds. If students can understand English print, they don't need the ASL. But, if they don't understand English print, using signed English will not help them understand the text any better. 

base: 1)In exponential notation, the number or variable that is multiplied repeatedly. 2)In a triangle or polygon, the side or face of the figure used to measure it. 3) In numbering systems the number of unique numerals used. For example base ten uses the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Base 2 only uses 0s, and 1s.
