Great explanation, worth an article! My thinking was more of a struggle a student has to take to correlate with a abstract concepts like algebra while in school. It is almost impossible for a kid to really look meaningful context out her daily maths class. However, all this concepts are born out of "need". If that "need" magically does not gets shown to kids "in their own language" there is going to be lot of trouble in bringing up right math power.
