"The issues kids face in algebra aren't necessarily about algebra, but a lack of understanding about what a fraction is — things that precede that higher-level class," said Mark Kriston, owner of two Mathnasium learning centers in Chicago.
"Same thing with geometry," he added. "Maybe there is a misconception about what geometry is. Or maybe they feel like it's something that's not really connected to something they've done in the past. They may not see that in younger grades — like first and second grade, when they were working with triangles and shapes — they were doing geometry on a rudimentary level.
"If they were to understand that connection, they would feel more comfortable going forward."
