"Math is a language of logic. It is a disciplined, organized way of thinking. There is a right answer; there are rules that must be followed. More than any other subject, math is rigor distilled. Mastering the language of logic helps to embed higher-order habits in kids' minds: the ability to reason, for example, to detect patterns and to make informed guesses."Amanda Ripley
"Algebra is disciplined training for how to solve concrete problems by thinking in the abstract - a skill every single one of us needs to navigate life." Esther J. Cepeda
