Explaining the concept of calculus is rather simple in primary school terms, yet actually preforming calculus operations would be challenging, to say the least, with only a primary school understanding of mathematics.  While there has been great success in teaching algebra to primary school students; there are, as of yet, no known widely successful appoaches for introducing calculus concepts in primary school (though it is being researched).  

In the case of algebra, it has been accomplished by couching it in terms and exmples used by children, instead of the traditional way of using terms mathemetitians use and raw mathematics examples.  Doing so has allowed basic algebra concepts to be introduced much earlier. Furthermore, through this familiarity and reframing, the method has has reduced the typical anxiety many young students face during and before encountering traditional algebra classes and material for the first time.  

Calculus, however, requires a grasp of the following prerequisite mathematical concepts before practicing it can begin:
- algebra
- functions
- taking limits
- x-y plot graphs *(optional) - an understanding of x-y plot graphs, while not essential, greatly enhances most students' ability to have calculus concepts "click" in their minds.  This is especially true for visual learner students.  Kinematic lerners may likewise benefit from a basic physics background.*

Nonetheless, just because something has not been done before, doesn't necissarily mean we shouldn't try!  I can attempt to explain each of the prerequisites for you, in primary school terms. 

Would you like to begin with algebra? Or is there something else I can help you with first?
