[quote=Anonymous]I think that PP was saying that on timed tests things go faster if you have certain things memorized. I don't have a math degree but I do have a degree in a related field and I used to be one of those kids who would derive things on every test and would often run out of time. I am worried my child is starting to go down a similar route and have emphasized trying to explicitly memorize those formulas. A very simple example would be that if you memorize the two point slope formula you wouldn't have to take the time to solve a set of simultaneous equations or if you remembered how to factor the difference of squares you could spend your time on other more complicated parts of a problem. It's like multiplication. Sure I don't need to memorize it really but it make things go a lot faster. [/quote]
