"Imagine that you had to take an art class in which you were taught only how to paint a fence or a wall but were never shown the paintings of the great masters. Would that make you an art lover? Years later you will talk to your friends and say 'Oh my gosh! I hated art at school, I was so bad at it.' What you would really be saying is 'I was bad at painting the fence.' And likewise with mathematics people often say 'Oh, I was so bad at math, I hate math.' but what they are really saying is 'I was bad at painting the fence.'”Picture math as an expression of beauty.
Tell your friends, your children, math is beautiful.
Then pause. Smile.
Let them take it from there.
Math is amazing.
Use it to paint the world.
