It is really neat as a teacher to see that application of math into the real world of students. One of our math lessons last week connected the concepts of time and the clock to our study of fractions. The students did a great job demonstrating their knowledge with story problems. It was really nice to use the clock to demonstrate fractions because it isn't just based on our number system of 10's and 100's. Students really had to think to make the connections....
Love this approach!
