I really loved this class! I teach kindergarten and I also have a son that hates math, so this showed me how, yes kids need the basics, but how to make math exciting for them and create real world problems to solve. I also like how you showed real world and self mistakes in math, because I think that kids are afraid to make mistakes and that takes the fear out.
