When you think about it the concepts in calculus are not that difficult. I mean, think of something like a slope. That just means how much you go up or down divided by how much you go left or right. That's pretty straight forward. And derivative simply means the value of the slope of a tangent in some part of a function. It's so easy that you could learn it from Wikipedia in five minutes without having any previous knowledge about it.

If kids can be good at learning new things anyway why wouldn't they be good at learning math?
