[quote=Anonymous]My first-grader is also getting algebra -- as enrichment (I think). And it really is. The arithmetic skill is just addition and subtraction of one-digit and two-digit numbers, but in order to solve the problems, she really has to understand what addition and subtraction mean, and what an equals sign means. It's understanding what she's doing, vs. just being able to do it. There was some emphasis on this with my pre-2.0 child, but there's more emphasis on it now, and I think that's a good thing. (And both of them have had way more emphasis on understanding what you're doing in math than I remember having in elementary school.)[/quote]
