Dave, Math concepts are only additive in theory, otherwise, we could talk about path integrals and second and third order partial differential equations all day on this list and everyone would be right with it.
There are math books and math classes just for girls because...girls seem to see and think differently than boys do. From personal experience with my children, it is clear that this is the case. Two of my kids are blowing by their peers and have already skipped a grade each in Math, and are continuing to accelerate away. My other one gets geometry and algebra, but struggles, with the mechanics of long anything, until she does it backwards. As we all know, everybody's different, and everybody's learning style is a little different. I was able to teach a room full of rank amateurs, over two class periods, how to build various personal productivity applications in HyperCard in College, and hook almost all of them in the process. However, when I tried to do the same things with the CS junkies, it was a total flop - they couldn't learn it the way I was teaching it. It was the most fascinating, and most rewarding credit hours of my four years in College. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
