Just to weigh in, the ability to manipulate numbers (add, subtract, multiply etc.) is a very different skill set from understanding mathematical concepts involved in algebra, statistics, geometry etc.You give me too much credit, Shad. I know my 5s, my 10s & my 11s but after that it's a calculator or fingers & toes.My mind doesn't work in straight lines ~ which you need for math so even essay writing takes me time to organize in a coherent form ~ though I think I have got worse as I've got older simply because I haven't really had to use any of this for decades.
Just like being good (or bad) at spelling and punctuation doesn’t say anything about your ability to comprehend written material or create poetry.
Chicken Tax.
