I try to teach genuine mathematics to elementary school pupils in supplementary classes during the weekends. Because what I do in my classes is intentionally quite different from school lessons in mathematics in most elementary schools, I have to explain my approach to new clients. My FAQ "Problems versus Exercises"[1] is the first in a series of four FAQ documents about how genuine mathematics involves problem-solving, and sometimes doing something that looks frighteningly hard at first. I think this kind of approach to mathematics can be helpful to hackers and to their children.
