How long would one have to work to pay for a Big Mac at McDonald’s?
A very interesting look at the cost of a BIG Mac burger and man hours worked. I think this could be a great departure point for a lesson/activity. We can bring in factors like a comparison between developed and un-developed countries and create some awareness in the process. Who wants to work on this as a lesson plan?

It's all cricket's fault
Mathematics is used in interesting, and often less than accurate, ways. Newspapers present graphs showing apparently correlated variables, but with a little thought, some of the time you will find that whilst it looks like two variables are connected, there is actually no cause and effect. Sometimes this is because there is a third factor causing the movements in the variables — for example, if it is hot and sunny, sales of sunscreen lotion increase, as do sales of air-conditioners. If you plot these sales against each other, you find a correlation. However, they are only connected because of a third variable, the summer weather. Of course, an unscrupulous media can draw connections where they don't exist for more political ends, such as blaming an increase in crime on the sales of hooded sweatshirts. And politicians have been known to confuse cause and effect, thinking that a local crime increase is due to the increased police presence, rather than the other way around.
