[quote=Anonymous]Look, maybe the 5th grade Algebra teacher is awesome. That said, many students make it to middle school in MCPS in super advanced math classes and all they can do when presented with a word problem is try to set up an equation with a variable or two because they were pushed to learn quadratic equations before 6th grade. If a student doesnt understand why or how it works it's, hard to know when to use it. Maybe they'll do amazingy on standardized tests but frequently they lack the ability to think flexibly about math problems. I could be wrong, but in my experience kids who take Algebra I and use variables before becoming flexible mathematicians have a hard time going back.[/quote]
