LEARNING ALGEBRA
RESEARCH ON BRAIN shows Algebra concepts can be taught -as early as in Kindergarten Second graders at The School at Columbia Univ. are learning algebra Other countries: To 6th or 7th graders US: 25% of middle graders get algebra In California, Algebra is taught-beginning of the 8th grade

WHAT IS ALGEBRA?
Algebra is a branch of Maths. Describes relationships between things that vary over time. Variables denoted by letters and symbols. Algebra is a study in logic.

WHY LEARN ALGEBRA?

Careers today demand skills like problem solving, reasoning, decision-making, and applying solid strategies etc.
Algebra provides one with a wonderful grounding in those skills. Colleges require it and some employers demand it.

WHY LEARN ALGEBRA?

Algebra is a very unique discipline. It is very abstract.

The abstract-ness of algebra causes the brain to think in totally new patterns.
Algebra builds a better brain.

WHY STUDY ALGEBRA?

When the brain is stimulated to think, the hair-like dendrites of the brain grow more extensive and more complex enabling more connections with other brain cells. We often hear that we use only a small percentage of our brain's capacity. The study of algebra is a way to increase our use of this marvelous muscle. By studying algebra, more "highways" are "built" upon which future "cargo" is transported -- cargo other than algebra.
