It's teaching them how to not have to rely on a calculator by the time they are in 9th grade.

Yeah - when I was a kid, they made us memorize the addition and multiplication tables. THEN they taught us how to use those skills to do complex addition/substraction/multiplication/division - THEN we learned algebra and later calculus.
They never tried to confuse us from the beginning.
