### AI overview

This essay argues that storytelling can motivate young children to engage with abstract mathematical reasoning. It contrasts children's enjoyment of surprising patterns and stories with the persistence needed to explore deeper mathematical questions.

### Source excerpt

Editor's note: This essay was originally published in 2019. I have made minor edits in this republishing. There was a MathOverflow thread about mathematically interesting games for 5-6 year olds. A lot of the discussion revolved around how young age 5 really is, and how we should temper expectations because we don't really remember what it's like to be 5. In response to an enormous answer by Alexander Chervov, user LSpice quipped, "'Daddy, daddy, let's play another in the infinite indexed family of perfect-information draw-free cheap-to-construct two-player games!

### AI overview

A proof of concept for transitioning between two React components. It animates the parent wrapper's height while fading the previous component out and the new component in when the children prop changes.

### Source excerpt

Just a quick proof of concept I made for transitioning between two react components. It animates height (of the parent) and fades components into each other. In componentWillReceiveProps it checks if children prop has changed. When that happens, it will save currently rendered children and the height of the wrapper. Then it will animate wrapper's height to a new component's height, fade out previous component and fade in the new one. Finally when animation is finished it will reset wrapper's height to auto. I might release it as a standalone npm component, but it needs some polishing before I do so. If you make use out of it, please share in the comments.
