Do you have any experience approaching these topics with a 5 year old? If so, can you share?

- anoncoward111 8y agoI don't think I could grasp basic algebra until about 14 and my classmates too XD
- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoI think you exaggerate. My kid routinely asks me for riddles of the "x plus seven equals fourteen" kind. That's basic algebra.
- anoncoward111 8y agoI came from a family that didnt really care about school I guess, and I don't think I was even presented a problem like "x - 4 = 17" until maybe 12 years old, and I didn't understand why it was useful until 14
- dunham 8y agoFor basic algebra, Dragon Box Algebra is nice. My five year old has gone through that and is working his way through geometry and the algebra 12+. (He just plays occasionally - iPad time is weekends only and he chooses what he wants to do.) It’s mentally taxing, so I encourage him to switch to a different game when he starts getting fatigued. (It rewards by gradually drawing a monster and unlocking more skills.) For assembly, you could try “human resource machine”, but it gets hard too quickly. Light Box Jr might be more appropriate, though. ScratchJr is also worth checking out (it is more open ended rather than just gameplay).
