All successful pedagogy is seduction. The goal is always the same: to engender obsession. Game designers and storytellers do this best.

We must engage with them and learn from them and incorporate their insights and practices into our thinking. They have kids & want to help.

But they don't know what we know about the content and practice of mathematics, so they can't imagine how to help us. They're stymied.

We must take the trouble to cast our sophisticate's understanding of mathematics into materials suitable for use by kids in games and play.

This is extremely hard work, calling for a great deal of imagination and patience. And the only reward we can expect is happy, engaged kids.
