[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not. I would have been much stronger in math. DH and I were floored to learn when our kid was in 1st or 2nd that you could invert ones and still come out with the same number, making it so much easier to do. It was a travesty really. 13 + 7 = 17 + 3 🤯[/quote] I didn't learn this either. It's not that I couldn't solve either of those simple problems, it's that I never spent any time thinking about math, beyond memorization, and never got a grasp of how numerical expressions relate. I remember learning new things watching Odd Squad with my kid - suddenly seeing why different tools work. I love that my DD's math class starts with "why" and emphasizes that many different approaches get to the same place. [/quote] Same for me. I was terrible at math and topped out at algebra II. Fortunately my son is gifted in math[/quote]
