Plus...the big revelation for me after years of math was that there are always multiple ways to solve the same problem. Some easy, some hard. Another mind blowing moment was finding out that operations on matrices are the same as substitution for solving a series of equations!YES! I keep telling people that 'new math' is the same 'old math' we were taught in school, just more intuitive. A lot of the stuff my nibblings are learning in class are the 'cheats' I figure out on my own 25 years ago and then had to hide from the teacher so I didn't get points off!
