I...It's interesting to see your viewpoint here. I was a child who excelled at math but in the early years I don't remember much difference between learning from my parents or learning from my school teachers. I don't remember exactly when I became aware of units, although what comes to mind now is maybe 3rd grade learning 1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s places and decimal operations.<br /><br />I haven't thought much about it before but I would say that knowing the importance of units is critical in moving beyond arithmetic and into more interesting mathematical concepts.<br />James Stansellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896200537163277150noreply@blogger.com
