Jan. 18th, 2003 12:02 amI just took this quiz, which is supposedly based on Illinois State Board's test for 8th graders.
I was in honors math in grade school and early high school. We didn't cover most of this material until Geometry in 9th grade.
Either California is way behind the curve, Illinois teaches geometry before algebra (which isn't really likely, as the test includes basic algebra), or they expect entirely too much of their 8th graders.
Or MSN is misrepresenting, which is always a possibility.
