I disagree with this statement, especially at the level of arithmetic and basic algebra. While math "ability" is likely a bell curve I would wager that it is centered well above Algebra I, and whether a kid at that age is "Good" or "Bad" at math is much more mindset/perception.
- sokoloff 4y agoIs math ability centered above Algebra I among 13 year olds, though? I would wager Algebra I is well above the center of the curve in that age group.
