Does the title of this post send shivers up your spine? Are you breaking out in a cold sweat? Is steam coming out of your ears? If so, perhaps you were like me and had a hard time coming to love algebra. (I still have to fake it for the kids a bit, I admit.) But let’s be honest – algebra is neat. You have a variable that you need to identify by solving the rest of the problem. It’s a mystery! A challenge to be solved! Tonight may be a good time to start getting excited about algebra, because it’s here for your fourth grader! Yesterday, November 9th, 2009, at 9:19am (we noted the time) your child started learning about algebra! We are starting slow – just looking at solving equations like x+3=8 or n=20×3. But it will get more exciting from here!
(And to be clear, there is not adequate information to solve the equation in this post’s title, nor is there any “z” variable for which to solve.)
