[quote=Anonymous]Opinion only, but I think numeracy needs to be taught intentionally and frequently at a very young age. Traditional Singapore math in Elementary School. Developmental readiness is critical- we had our son re-take Algebra in 8th (he got a C+ in 7th). I thought he was struggling too much with the homework load, and wasn't ready to follow the necessary process of solving equations (was still in the mindset of doing things in his head). Relating math to another class or practical use helped- DS took AP physics and AP calc the same year. We thought it would be a challenge, but he said that the classes complement each other. [/quote]
