I have been teaching my 4th grade students their first actual equation that also is the greatest equation of the ~~world~~ universe. The secret parts are that the height is A, and the distance from the center to the edge is Z.

The greatest equation is that the actual volume of pizza that you get in any pizza is equal to...PI x ZZ x A. They ate it up.

I will be happier if they remember their math, and carry that on to their next generation.

You've got to be dreaming... We're not here to learn!

My class is different. They have to qualify, and have to ask to get in. When they leave, they are giants who can mike drop things that 99% of adults cannot do. (And they have a blast, while learning.) If it isn't fun, they are not going to learn. The secrets to herding cats is either a string or a laser light.
