I really like the idea of starting the year of with students by finding out about their relationship with math. Here is a few possible questions you can ask them.

OK it's back again, that order of operations problem. But this time @StevenStrogatz has done a great job of telling us why there is an issue in the first place. It's the first really clear reference and explanation of the idea of the effects of implicit multiplication. I have been describing this for a couple of years about this problem but this is a great one stop shopping place for a clean concise explanation.Curriculum Tags: All
