Engage with Math Through Fun and Relevance
Algebra should be integrated into children's education earlier in a way that makes it engaging and enjoyable, using visual aids and relatable concepts.

Just as learning to read can be perceived as a frustrating journey with a rewarding endpoint, mathematics should be framed to communicate its practical benefits.

For adolescents, connecting math to real-life scenarios and positioning oneself as an ally in their learning can enhance motivation and interest.
