[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an intern who is a prodigy in math. She is currently at John Hopkins on a full scholarship although she was also accepted into MIT with scholarship. We once talked about her education and how she got so good a math within the public school system. In elementary school she had a math tutor who was Russian and taught her math the Russian way. She started taking advanced math in middle school and in high school she was allowed to have an alternative schedule that let her take math classes at the local community college.[/quote] I just want to add that the way they teach math in elementary school is different from the way we learned 20 years ago. There are different ways to solve a math problem. My son is advanced but not a prodigy. He has math books he works on that are not the school's curriculum. So in school he learns an alternative way to solve the problem that he's already encountered [/quote]
