I’ve been teaching my kid algebra and there was a big epiphany when she realized (in her words) that it’s just like programming except = isn’t assignment. She is a bit older than this study’s cohort so maybe the effect requires a bit more time?


Time to teach her about references and pointers :D


She actually got pointers pretty easily, but references were confusing since the syntax is the same when you… reference them.
