It's Algebra Dude!

Today I went to science class with Gio's first grade class. After everyone was finished with their science project, they flipped over their papers and started a math contest.

"52 + 48 = 100," says one kid.

"One million minus two million is dash one million," says another kid.

"Woah, that's right!" I say.

These are uber smart first graders.

Then Gio got into the contest.

"14 + x = 15," says Gio. "What's X?"

But before anyone has a chance to answer Gio says, "X is one!"

"No it's not," say the kids.

"Yes It Is!" says Gio. "IT'S ALGEBRA!!!!!!!!!"

The kids mull it over for a millisecond and say, "Oh yeah, you're right."

I didn't even know what algebra was until middle school, yet all these first graders, not only know algebra, but they get it, too. What are the schools, and my husband, teaching the kids these days?
