Parents brush up on algebra's identity element to tutor their middle schooler

Original: Anyone remember the “identify element “ from learning proofs in algebra 1. I sure don’t. But I had to also teach my sign

A parent admitted forgetting the 'identity element' from algebra 1 proofs and had to relearn it so she and her significant other could split algebra tutoring duties for their middle child. Their son joked it was 'new math,' and the parents replied it was probably really old. The exchange is striking a chord with others juggling homework help.

Why now: Many parents relate to relearning school math to help their kids with homework.
