Exactly.

Exactly. Well said.

[quote=JeffS65]I quickly explained a little something about string intervals in a very simple way so that she could see it as more of a math/counting solution than a 'shape' concept. She didn't need a deep understanding of the concept, just a quick answer as to why. Later on, when she's progressed and started learning more in depth stuff, she can call back to that initial understanding.

Well done! Thanks for that anecdote.

Anyway, a tiny bit of knowledge goes a long way.

Absolutely. A good curriculum uses that perspective & builds on it in an integrated manner. So, when you get to more complex levels it's still relates to, refers to & dovetails with earlier concepts. It points back to earlier concepts while expanding their scope with new layers of detail, refinement & complexity.
