I'm in agreement as well. Mind-boggling how many students these days
access my curriculum without knowing 24 A modules make a regular unit
volume tetrahedron, 48 A + 48 B modules an octahedron of volume 4 --
something they should have learned in 4th grade! The absence of even
such basic knowledge (without resorting to lookup tables) really slows
them down.
