I’m going to have to give that book a read. It is so true… we tend to teach kids “how” to deal with math symbolically, but don’t always start with the language first then work towards the symbol. We are constantly starting symbolic and working backwards. Later, we will show you how to “be more prince” and that’ll drive this point home yet again.
