WHY YOU'RE NOT SMARTER THAN YOUR 5TH GRADER
Can you solve a problem involving slope-intercept? How about a quadratic equation? If you can’t that’s OK, typically our ability to recall how to solve problems like these gets weaker with time, especially without a strong STEM education background. Just think of how you feel when the more complicated questions come up on “Are you smarter than a 5th grader!” You know you learned that in school, but can you recall the answers off the top of your head now? It's OK if you can't.
