If any teachers out there could please put their thoughts forward! i do have my own ideas, but it is always nice to have someone in the professions input!

It's been proven that children (anywhere from 3-10 yrs. old) learn best when they're young. (See Piaget, Chomsky, Bloom, ect.) The brain has the capacity to create new neuro-pathways more readily than adults. Teaching any subject, particularly Math, in primary schools is more efficient because of the student's ability to learn and remember information in the early years of his/her cognitive growth. We should be introducing different languages to students at this level too, instead of later in the middle grades, where it's already a struggle for most students.

I am an almost teacher (one year left to go) and I reckon that you teach maths in Primary school for the same reason you teach reading or writing. They need these skills from the start to be able to get through primary life
