“Why do we need to learn this stuff that we won’t need in the real world?”
Algebra gives our children the ability to think with logic. It trains their brains to think rationally, analyze errors and to problem solve with order and reasoning. This is all real world stuff. It teaches them to work through a problem and that it takes time and thought to get to the other side.
Self efficacy is the outcome of algebra.
