## Resource

Your kid doesn't need to love math. They need to stop being taught wrong. Jason Roberts coached a 4th-grade math team at a public school. By 7th grade, those kids were doing calculus - 6 years ahead of schedule. His teaching philosophy comes down to one question: how did you teach your kid to tie their shoes? Jason Roberts and Justin Skycak (Math Academy) break down why lectures fail, how spaced repetition prevents forgetting, and what adaptive math learning actually looks like under the hood.
