Metaphors of Mathematics

My son Emil and I discuss the consequences of the book "Where mathematics come from" by George Lakoff. We test an idea on the plexiglass board.

The Y axis shows value of cos x. The X axis shows degrees. We illustrate with the metaphor of a wave and/or a clock (circle).

Emil becomes incredibly proud when he finds this illustration at page 392 after he made the illustration on the board. So we have now added Metamatics to our concept.
