Community Review for Get the Math
My Take
It is less useful as a teaching tool and more useful as a way to allow students to connect more with the material and how they can relate their interests to the lessons they are learning. It helps keep the students engaged and interested in the subject.
How I Use It
I used it to explore the different ways that math can influence our lives. It was easy to use and interesting to see all of the different videos.
