Where does the + go?
When I was in whatever class matches year 7, we wrote our sums:
YOU
YOO
HOO +
YES
No wonder I was confused
Now, is there an answer to the above?

Left Wing Teachers. SHAME
Typical!!!!!.
Now the teachers have poor year seven students even placing their maths signs on the left.
Where will it end.
Wongo, you're showing your age.
In my days, everything was done on the right, we didn't even cater for those writing with a left hand.
Apparently left handed individuals are good at chess and handy in bed.
But I still like the + signs on the right. It's much tidier.

PS. Naturally you're correct regarding the sum.

That’s interesting Greg. I didn’t go to (primary) school in Australia. From where I come from we are always taught to have the signs on the left. Maybe it is different here.

They now do algebra in year 5 in NSW. And it's called algebra. The only difference to the way we used to do it; instead of saying 3a = 9, they now say 3X [ ] = 9. Where the [ ] is a box but I can't do one on this site.
