Topic	Can you solve this ASIAN Style MATH Problem for 6 Year Olds? What's the answer?
Doctor Foxx 08/22/17 12:55:12 PM #28:	Golden Road posted... AbsoluteDenial posted... You guys think this would be hard for a 6-year-old? In addition to what the problem states, they'd only need to understand that if you add anything to 1 bottle, the same needs to be added to each of the other 2, or simply that adding to 1 bottle is adding 3 times as much to the total (yes, 6-year-olds can learn multiplication). Going that route, the picture provided makes it even easier to solve. 6-year-olds are just learning how to do scary word problems and 2-digit addition, and somehow you think they can solve not just algebra, but an algebra word problem? Yes. Kids are quick to learn. If you build up properly and don't limit the difficulty of the problems you'd be surprised at how advanced the math is that they can understand. --- Never write off the Doctor! <cite>Doctor Foxx posted [p:885240839] in Can you so...
