[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should get rid of the algebra requirement for kids who are struggling/special needs and do more real life math.[/quote] Algebra is real-life math. That's the reason it has been a MD state HS graduation requirement for a very long time.[/quote] Is it? Outside of using algebra for another higher level math class, how do you use it in your life? I’ve never used it. Ever. [/quote] I bet you have. Or that this is a troll post. Budget or travel planning. Cooking. Shopping. Understanding the import of certain claims or offers. Making reasonably educated decisions about political policy. Just googling "real world algebra" gets you a ton of such examples.[/quote] +1 Or even the more basic - this item is on sale for 30% off. How much is it? No, we don’t write out equations on paper, but yes we absolutely use algebraic thinking all the time.[/quote]
