I am not a good person to give you an answer because I hated math. However before teaching algebra they should make sure they can add, subtract and divide. Today many schools, at least here, use a calculator. They can't even count your change, they a lost if they don't have a cash register that calculates the change.
No such thing as too much math. I wish that I had a better grasp on geometry and even algebra. I can think of lots of other things that could be cut back on in school.
Many of them still can't make change properly even when the machine tells them how much to give.

Math is pure, it's the way things are. Physics, astromony, chemistry, architecture, geography are all impossible without it. About the only profession that doesn't seem to need it is a politician.
YOu figure there's a full digit there do you? :lol:

So then the guy that can count to 22????8O
Rhodes scholar meets road scholar. Blend of intellect and street savvy. Word dude.
All guys do that a little don't they?
The solution is the set of reals (if that is the set within which you are solving this equation). This equation is an example of an identity; it is true for any value of x you choose.
This is the biggest problem I always had with math. As soon as the equation has letters in it I'm fukked.
you should see them at Wallymart when the computers go down.................:lol:
I managed to struggle through algebra, liked geometry, was pretty good in basic math............worked in my uncle's store for a bit and could make change like a bugger.
We were not allowed to use calculators in school at all. Good thing.
I round it up. Learned that in math class.
Posted then read your post- Very insightful.
