“If I had to design a mechanism for the express purpose of destroying a child's natural curiosity and love of pattern-making, I couldn't possibly do as good a job as is currently being done-I simply wouldn't have the imagination to come up with the kind of senseless, soul-crushing ideas that constitute contemporary mathematics education.” IfsKindChildrenIdeasSoulDoneJobsPurposeImaginationNaturalDesignAnd LoveMathematicsCuriosityPatternsCome UpContemporaryCrushDestroyingMechanismBeing DoneNatural Curiosity Author:Paul Lockhart
“No one person can take credit for the success of a motion picture. It's strictly a team effort.
