Group trying to make math fun

A group of educators and entrepreneurs are trying to improve math education by making it fun, instead of just rote numbers. They even have a traveling museum hosting a square wheeled tricycle that works at a special surface. This is a good start, but I believe adding a personal finance class or two would go a long way to improve high school math education. Students can learn about logarithmic growth of mutual funds, algebra to help compare buying or leasing a car, and many other math techniques to manage credit card and other debt. Parents would likely tell their kids, “I wish they had that when I was in school. You better listen in that class.” Learn more in the Numbers game: America’s struggle to make math fun story at Reuters.
