Teachers Be Crazy

There is heaps to colour in maths. Venn diagrams, map colouring, graphing inequalities, choose-n-coloured-marbles probability problems...

One day, I'm probably going to be in a thread like this.

Don't worry, so am I.

My final year as a teacher, I was assigned two sections of "Math 1". "Math 1" is what they call it when people somehow get to be juniors and seniors in high school but cannot add fractions or tell you how many sides a triangle has. I know some people just aren't great at math, and I have no problem with that, but the majority of them were in the class because they'd never given a shit about math or school or life in general as far as I could tell. All of my training told me that the key was to make the class fun and interesting, somehow relate the topic to them. Application problems were fun, at least for me.
Roy mugs Dirk, dropping him to the ground, and runs down the street at 20 feet per second. If it takes Dirk 3 seconds to get up, and another 2 seconds to pull out and aim his 9mm, how far away will they find Roy's body? (You may assume the travel time of the bullet is instantaneous, and Dirk does not move Roy's body other than to retrieve his wallet.)
