I think ICE has tremendous potential as a tool for learning math in a fun and immediately rewarding way, so much so that if I were a parent I'd be pushing hard for my (hypothetical) kids school to adopt it as a teaching tool.
After seeing a lifetime of expensive and largely ineffective initiatives to try to get kids interested in math it's a little tragic that this tool with so much potential in that area is likely to go unrecognized. > Though, saying that, ICE is one of the bast ways to learn the fundamental > maths anyway. You just have to be a nosy bastard and visualise anything > you're not fully understanding (with the core nodes, that is, ignore the > compounds as much as you can unless you're in a rush) until you can see the > patterns.
