I am just repeating what my son’s 5th grade teacher said to all the parents at open house. If you have children and done their homework with them you will find in no time at all you will not be able to help them. Every good school system is giving bits of algebra this early. Not every kid gets it though, of course.
“PS I think what confused people with the 10 minutes to La Jolla argument is that you talk about enjoying the beach in LaJolla but then pick a non-beach boundary to determine time and distance. Bad arguing technique”
For sure, but my point was it’s really not that far.
