If you are a math teacher or tutor, like myself, I am sure
you have struggled to find ways to get kids interested in math concepts and to convince
them that math really does come up in everyday life. This article, posted by a
teacher named Mrs. Chapman, introduces a unique way to connect concepts to real
life while integrating technology. The genius teacher decided to incorporate
pictures (taken with a cell phone or camera).

She created a prompt for a
different subject to photograph each day. The subjects ranged from polygons, to
pyramids, to doubles plus or minus one. Students were allowed to create their
own examples or simply snap a pic of one out in the real world. The concept of
looking for ideas learned in school out in students’ daily lives could be
incorporated into any school subject and is a great way to get students engaged
and using technology. You could even link online with other classrooms to compare pictures they found. To read the article for yourself head over here.
