- There probably isn't any point to teaching Math in a structured way before age 10. Maybe even age 13.

Foolish statement! Learning math young helps make you good at math for life. I wanted to learn advanced math before age 10 but nobody taught me.

Math is a language of analysis. When I was in elementary school, it seemed natural to me that everything should be quantified and viewed as probability distributions, and so I could’ve learned plenty and retained it for life (I have near-perfect memory for all math I learn).

If you can learn languages when young most easily, and if top chess players generally started at very young ages, why retard a child’s desire to learn math?

I think we're on the same page. Math at a young age is binary-- kids are incapable of learning a concept until their neural wiring reaches a certain stage of development, at which point they'll be able to instantly grok & retain forever.
