Matemathics: food for the mind

Too often math education has been confined to its theoretical and calculus aspects: it is the same to confuse a score with its music! Since elementary school, it is necessary to make children feel math’s music, showing its most chanting side, the one that makes us understand nature, art and human relations, and that renders us active, conscious and ready for the future.
