I think algebra should be taught in a different way. I remember in school I just didn't get it for more than a year and almost failed math. Then my brother in law gave me a few examples and suddenly it clicked. From then on it was super easy.

I think a lot of people who aren't inclined towards math just don't get it because it's taught the wrong way.



intuition isn't taught in schools for the most part, most of my math teachers didn't go into proofs or intuitively figuring out mathematical concepts. It's all to get you the right answers on standardized tests.

I didn't learn this until well after I graduated from college.
