Moving mathematics beyond the classroom: Moody’s Mega Math Challenge
M3 Challenge emphasizes the practical implications of mathJanuary 18, 2012
Math isn’t always as absolute as it seems. Outside the classroom, the practical implications of math go far beyond cracking a complicated calculus problem. So how about giving students a math test where they are judged on the creativity of their ideas and the applicability of their solutions? Or presenting them with questions whose answers pass muster based on their ability to solve actual issues when applied to the real world? That’s the kind of math modeling that forms the basis for Moody’s Mega Math (M3) Challenge.
