Tell that to the 6 yr old using Scratch. "Hey! Stop that fun stuff with shapes and animation an games and go study math for X years. When you're done maybe I'll let you program".

I credit playing with Cuisenaire rods as a child for strengthening my mathematical intuition, but I wouldn't build my house out of them, eh? In any event, I think it's possible to have your cake and eat it too. See http://iconicmath.com/ http://iconicmath.com/ I think we can make mathematical toys. Heck Scratch is a mathematical toy, eh?
