[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specific problem: Algebra I STARTS with exponential equations. I have looked in several math textbooks and have yet to see exponential equations at the beginning of the book. I guess MCPS is smarter than all the others. [/quote] The Singapore Math textbooks for grade 8 start with exponents.[/quote] By exponential equations, I was referring to equations where the [b]exponent[/b] is the [b]variable[/b]. Singapore math does not start like that. [/quote] But the grade 8 Singapore math book is not Algebra I. It's more like IM.[/quote] No one else starts algebra I with exponential equations. I guess MCPS knows better. [/quote] How do you know that nobody else does this? And why is it a bad idea?[/quote] :oops: Best to learn how to work with variables before throwing them into exponents. [/quote][/quote]
