Hi all,
Now that I'm a parent I've already started to worry about my daughter's ability to grasp our educational system. I'm a secondary school teacher and teaching lower sec maths. By the time the students come to sec 1, we are already teaching algebra and they are expected to be able to solve 3/4 step problems. Maths isn;t easy but it can be if we introduce maths to our young in a fun way. It will be harder later if they cannot relate to the subject and worse refuse to put in effort in it. Most of the time, it's not the difficulty level that gets to them, it's that they do not have interest in the subject anymore.
