I got smarter in middle school because I know more math strategies and formulas. When I joined 7th grade PACE math, I didn't know anything about dilations. I remember asking what they were. As the days went on, I finally caught on. Even before that, I learned volume of awkward figures, the pythagorean theorem, and lots of missing angles. This definitely was a sizable change to me that I loved. Instead of learning adding and multiplying, I got smarter and learned harder concepts.
