    Teaching my 7 yo math has also shown me how many things they never taught me. It was all plug and chug.

        have you walked him through Feynman's derivation of trigonometry from counting? That was a hit with the best of my young students.

        it's in the Feynman lectures, volume 1, chapter 22. http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_22.html  Starts with counting, derives sin^2 X + cos^2 X = 1

        you should create lesson plans and open source them on Github. I'm expecting a baby soon and want to be proactive in his education

        I recommend the AoPS books (vol1 and vol2) https://www.artofproblemsolving.com/store/item/aops-vol1 … and the AoPS forum https://www.artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3_middle_school_math …. Lots to get lost in..

        yup. You have to search for (or really get lucky) to find the beauty in math the way it’s taught. So many cool resources now tho
