So one item on my "bucket list" is to write some math texts for either curious school students or people who home school, or for older people interested in learning math. And I think a good approach that I haven't seen before is to intersperse the math with the history of it's discovery. So kids could spend a chapter doing egyptian math. Then a chapter doing Babylonian math. Then a chapter doing Greek math with a ruler and compass. Then some more. And in this way, build math up together with fun facts and pictures of the historical places where the math was created. That's I love documents like this.
