[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely. For some strange reason, no doubt to do with how our brains process mathematical concepts, most people are better at algebra vs geometry, or the reverse. I loved geometry and had a difficult time with algebra and calculus (and became a scientist, ha :-) ). My daughter hates geometry and loves algebra and calculus. Most of high school math is algebra based and calculus continues on the same path. There will be some geometrical elements to calculus, so don't completely abandon geometry concepts, please - but most of it is algebraic thinking. Make sure her algebra is rock solid before she gets to high school, though![/quote]
