WELCOME TO ALGEBRA 1

The main reason why we study math is to develop problem - solving skills which strengthens and expands the ability to reason well. That thinking process causes the brain to work, much like a muscle. The more that muscle works out, the better it performs on other tasks. In simple terms, Algebra builds a better brain ( as do other disciplines such as learning an instrument, doing puzzles, and, yes, even some video games). When the brain is stimulated to think, the hair-like neurons grow more extensive and more complex enabling more connections with other brain cells. We often hear that we use only a small percentage of our brain capacity. The study of Algebra is a way to increase our use of this marvelous muscle. By studying Algebra, more "highways" are "built" upon which future "cargo" is transpoted - cargo here means innovation. 40 years ago there were NO cellphones and 40 years to come the quality of life is beyond imagination now - all because of brain power.
