When I teach math, I really like to make "real world" connections for students. Well, that task just got a little easier! I recently found Math in Movies (Thanks to the free Teachers Teaching Teachers Podcast...) that catalogues short movie clips from popular movies that include math. I think these clips are great lesson starters or anticipatory sets. You can stream or download the video clips. For example, they have a clip from Father of the Bride where he talks about hot dogs buns and the # in each pack to talk about arrays. I think it is a good place to visit if you want to "hook" your students' attention during math class!
