[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm talking about solving for X and Y, 3X and that kind of thing, not the quadratic formula and lines/slopes. When do the advanced tracked kids learn this, what grade? RSM says 1st or 2nd grade at the latest, AoPS says ??, our public school says middle school.[/quote] My mom recently sent me copies of my 1st grade math notebook. 1970's. Eastern bloc country. Guess what: equations in x and y right there. Even inequalities. Sure, only small coefficients, but introduced before fractions. Not to gifted kids. To every 6 year old. I'm sure US textbooks of the time had that, too. But that was before the Math wars...[/quote]
