What if we taught math the same way we approach teaching movement, sport, or physical education? It might look something like this. When your child is very young, maybe two or three, you decide what kind of math they should do. Maybe you always wanted to be great at addition, and so you decide to prepare your child for addition. Maybe you see a competitive future in subtraction, or maybe you think you’re a family who has never done well in math. You don’t really like math, so maybe you decide not to introduce your child to math at all.
