I would say the mind asks "How," but the heart asks "Why?"

Math-Mother's University
 
I didn't mention it in the podcast, but www.imdb.com/title/tt4846340/?ref_=nv_sr_1Hidden Figures is a great movie to watch with the family. It's about math and the space program.
 
A Mortifying Mistake         by Anna Maria Pratt
 
I studied my tables over and over, and backward and forward, too;
But I couldn't remember six times nine, and I didn't know what to do,
Till sister told me to play with my doll, and not to bother my head.
"If you call her 'Fifty-four' for a while, you'll learn it by heart," she said.
 
So I took my favorite, Mary Ann (though I thought 'twas a dreadful shame
To give such a perfectly lovely child such a perfectly horrid name),
And I called her my dear little 'Fifty-four- a hundred times, til I knew
The answer of six times nine as well as the answer of two times two.
 
Next day Elizabeth Wigglesworth, who always acts so proud,
Said, "Six times nine is fifty-two," and I nearly laughed aloud!
But I wished I hadn't when teacher said, 'Now, Dorothy, tell if you can."
For I thought of my doll and --sakes alive!-- I answered, "Mary Ann!"

I’m excited to listen to all of the reaources you mentioned. The link isn’t working. Do you mind linking to the page again please. I so appreciate you doing this. I am a math teacher, but this year God helped me to see there is another way and he wants me to start having math be more natural, principle based and pointing ever towards Him. Such a lovely awakening. ❤️
