From Dan Meyer's Blog How Do You Turn Something Interesting Into Something Challenging? and the idea of lowering mathematics into the discussion s l o w l y. First thought that jumped into my head? I suck at teaching math.
From Kate Nowak's Blog Soldiers in the War on Innumeracy and the link to the Verizon Math video. I watched this video with my 8th grade son last night, and I think he wants to join this War.
The closest I have come to this nirvana is using this video when discussing the Prisoner's Dilemma and other Game Theory ideas with my Mathematical Games class last semester.
