Middle-school math you work by hand: unit prices and the percent behind every tax, tip and stacked discount, dividing fractions, negative numbers on a line, a plane and a bank register, equations and inequalities that flip, exponents and scientific notation from nanometers to the Sun, proportional lines you draw, area and volume from boxes to cones, a² + b² = c² on a ladder, box plots and the odds of double sixes.
