I recently assigned a mini-math project to my students. I wanted to allow the students to research something relating to math that interested them and create a way to share with the class how their topic relates. The idea was for me to give as little direction as possible because I didn't want to limit them with examples. Well, most of my students decided to do a simple powerpoint or written essay. I really wanted the kids to think outside of the box (for lack of a better expression.) When I realized that most of my students were doing the same ol' thing, I decided to search for an entertaining example of communicating mathematical ideas. This video is one I found on teachertube. I showed my students and they could not stop laughing. It is set to the tune of Fergalicious.

Stephanie,
I hope this worked to excite your students and get them thinking. I cracked up watching the video. I love to see anything that makes math fun, funny, approachable and interesting.
