I totally agree about the "why" thinkgs work the way they do, also, if you introduce something tangible to them, sometimes kids grasp concepts better (an example, although it seems to be later on in my life than 9 years old:) When I was in High School, I did well in geometry and trig, but sucked in Algebra and Calc, but I excelled in Chemistry and Physics, I realized later that the sciences were just tangible Algebra and Calculus *shrug* (at least in a very simplified sense). It was the fact these things were conceptualized for me that I got it. Now the concepts of algebra and calculus are firmly imbedded in my mind =) -Pat ___________________________________________________________________________ Pat Lynch lynch@rush.net Systems Administrator Rush Networking ___________________________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
