I watched this TED video of Dan Meyer explaining what is wrong with the the way most math curricula teach problem solving. The video is on an Educational Technology and Mobile Learning post; I did not watch all of them, but you may want to check out the others as well. I went to his blog, and this guy has some truly incredible stuff.
I've spent he past hour or so looking at some of Dan's curricula, sample problems, ideas, thoughts, and philosophy about teaching math. Truly impressive. He's already given me about 100 new ideas, plus all of his curricula are posted on the blog for download - all under a CC attribution license.
If you're not a math teacher, check it out anyway.
If you are a math teacher, go to this site.
Now.
