At the beginning of this blog I wrote what is Relevant Science. Now I revisit the concept based on my experience as a bilingual math teacher in an Illinois high school.
Students have to feel attached to the subject matter. Yesterday I tried to let them invent an Algebra problem. One student told me that a street nearby turned on itself, and one could actually go around a loop and cross the street coming from the same street! I went to check on Google Maps and I did not see such intertesting intersection.
Nonetheless the problem turned out to be fun. Today I am planning to let them direct more the direction of the class. I myself do not find the textbook that interesting.
