A sampling of solving for x from Jesse's math worksheet today

3x - 3 = 33

6 + 5x = 21

6- 2x - 3x = 6

-2 = 4x- 5x + 10

-101 = 6x + 4x + 9

7 - 5x + x = 7

-2x = 6 -7x = -57

-19 = 2x + x + 5

He did a page of these and he had to do a couple over (because of inattention, not because of not understanding the process) but got them too after being told to redo them. I think he's doing pretty well for a third grader.

OMFG!! I didn't do that shit until either Junior High or high school!!

I think I first had any sort of algebra in the 9th grade. Of course I did go to a sucky jr. high, but still, I think he's ahead of the curve on this one. By Oklahoma's PASS standards that the public schools go by, he'll be completely through 8th grade math by the end of the year. Yay for Jesse and yay for R, from whom he inherited his math ability, lol.

6- 2x - 3x = 6
7 - 5x + x = 7

These two are the same problem!

Yes, student math drills are frequently repetitive, lol. But I am in awe that you looked close enough to figure it out. My eyes sort of glaze over when I see a bunch of numbers.

I wrote one of these problems out for Trip. He said, "Uh, Mama, x in math means times."

Got some work to do before he's ready for 8th grade math.

I'm with Trip on this one.

The only math that really grabs me is figuring discounts at clothing stores, lol.
