A Mathematician's Lament – Paul Lockhart (2002) [pdf] (worrydream.com)
hingler36 40 minutes ago [-]
I'm a huge fan of Paul's, and his book Measurement is easily the most beautiful introduction to geometry out there.

I appreciate his focus on how to maintain engagement with students who are predisposed to math, but I think it's equally important to consider how to teach students who are deeply uninterested in math but still need a working knowledge to live life. Granted, the current system seems to be failing both kinds of students.
