It doesn't need to. Once the idea is taught at a young age, the habits follow with them. This doesn't just stay in math either.Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View Post

Math is a science not a liberal arts. 51 - 26 = 25, today, tomorrow and everyday, the answer is immutable. The answer is not up for discussion or allows conjecture. Basic math should be taught to kids as a memorization exercise. Beginning with Euclidean geometry, logically deduction can be introduced to kids. If kids can't just pop out the answer to basic arithmetic, they will struggle when they get to algebra and never attempt trig, calculus or higher math.
I would guess that foreign students from Asia and Africa make up 50-75% of the students in my engineering classes and closer to 80% in the one graduate level class I am taking.class joke

Like all paths of integration from z1 to z2 through the complex plane for an analytic function is the same regardless of the path chosen. So, then the end result is more important than the way to get there for some.class joke

While that's all well and good will we benchmark developmentally appropriate capacity through the experiential based learning process?
PS. You're doing it again.Comment

I agree. Adding in additional steps, using addition to get a subtraction answer, to me, complicates this more and leaves more room for confusion and misunderstanding. This in turn frustrates more children here math is concerned. When they get frustrated they give up.Originally posted by TexasDevilDog View PostOriginally posted by LeahComment
