Sure, but different students approach maths in different ways. Some prefer applied math with clear, preferably cool, use cases. You want to teach those the rocket equation and orbital mechanics first.

Other's want everyday or civil applications. Or historical context of how the problems were developed.

Still others want pure math and proofs and the really abstract stuff and how it fits into modern bleeding edge math.

And still others are reading Russell and Whitehead at age 13 and should have math taught from a philosophy perspective.

yeah but there are limited resources per student (although we grossly underprioritise education children are our future)

I'm not an expert on this stuff though I'm just basing my thinking on my own school experience
