Also keep in mind that your application of math to every day life will be weaker than what you have learned in theory. Also the math that your brain does effortlessly will be even less than that.
For example when I was in college I was talking to my dorm mates (business school so everyone was too dumb to do STEM) about falling out of bunk beds.
Someone claimed that falling out of a bed twice as high you would be going more than twice as fast when you hit the ground because as time increases, distance increases by the square of the time. However, I knew in a split second that this was wrong. No one believed me when I said the opposite was true. These were all people that completed pre-calculus so they could do 11th grade math, but they failed middle school math.
Point is by the time you are through 11th grade math, it will still be an extreme struggle to apply 8th grade math to your daily life.
Also the difficulty of math is not linear, it’s closer to being exponential. Let’s say every year it becomes 20% more difficult.
Pre-Algebra is what you’re doing right now
Algebra (and geometry) is 20% harder
Algebra II (and trigonometry) is 20% harder than Algebra
Pre-calculus is 20% harder than Algebra II
Calculus is 20% harder than Pre-Calculus
^This is actually a good algebra problem. How much harder is Calculus than Pre-Algebra?
