Digital cameras. Using a digital camera is one way students can connect mathematical concepts with the world at large. For example, they could take pictures of geometric shapes around the school—like a baseball field—to create their own math problems. A sample question, such as, If the school wants to fence in the baseball field, how much fencing would it take? can be answered by supplying the field's width and length dimensions. Questions can be posted to a class Web site or blog for other class-mates to answer
