[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My 12-year-old in magnet Algebra is studying rings and fields. These topics don't normally come up in MS math so I believe it goes deeper.[/quote] Can you expand on this? I’m curious what schools are teaching. Note that ring is the professional mathematician name for integers (ES) and polynomials (Alg 1 and 2) and some fancier ways to look at square roots, and some exotics things that I doubt MS teaches. And Eureka teaches ring properties (commutativity, distributivity) in ES everywhere. Likewise, field is the professional name for rings with division (fractions and modular “clock” arithmetic). Fractions are of course taught everywhere; I’m not sure about modular/clock arithmetic.[/quote]
