Geometry: most high school curricula teach geometry horribly, and usually restrict proofs to only geometry problems, which is a mistake IMO.



Yeah, I never understood why we did proofs in geometry but not in any other class. It should be done in Algebra 1, it would help less-able math students to more easily understand what they’re doing.

I’m in Pre-Calculus right now and I sort of like it. We’re doing sequences, series, summations, etc. As of now, this material isn’t very hard, but deriving the equations is fun and I can see its applications. I have a feeling this will be a good year.

Of what I’ve taken so far, definitely Algebra 1. I loved first learning how to do all the algebra stuff. For some reason I find solving systems of equations so darn fun. There’s this cool feeling I get when I substitute or eliminate.
