    Sometimes the visual example doesn’t work well when describing math. So an alternate:

    Pick a number 1 - 10. 8. Correct and accurate.

    Pick a number 1 - 10. 3.1415926535. Uhh, precise, but not accurate.

    Or:

    Accurate is drilling the hole in the middle. Precise is picking the exact right size drill bit.
