[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geometry is the most eloquent of math subjects. That’s your biggest chance to fall in love with math. STEM majors and math majors reflect on this! I wouldn’t have skipped it ever! [/quote] I think it and physics use a different part of the brain than algebra or calculus. That’s why top students in Wash Dac public schools are able to take it and algebra the same year in middle school. It’s quite different, uses application equations and needs a spatial relations brain to do accurately and quickly.[/quote] TJ students taking AP physics have to have taken Calculus BC or be doing it at the same time, suggesting physics uses the same part of the brain.[/quote] at blair freshman who are in Algebra 2 take AP Physics and there's a more advanced physics that also has calc bc as a prereq[/quote]
