I don't see why the heck we don't just teach them the word equation instead of pretending they're too simple to understand the concept and add a word to their vocabulary. I wonder if it'd be possible that this might have a positive effect in decreasing the gap between men and women in science related fields. Perhaps if we told boys and girls they were doing well with equations they'd grow up to be more comfortable with them. Instead of "I'm not good at equations and never have been and those sound hard" (since they only started using the word with tougher mathematics or maybe never at all), they could think "Equations? Psh, I've been working them over since I was in grade one". Just an idea.
