These lessons are brief video clips that I have taken in places that I have visited around the world.  I love to show students that math occurs everywhere!  The questions that I pose in these videos are intended to either hook students into a specific area of math or be used as a warm-up after a particular skill is mastered.  They will require the students to make inferences and possibly conduct a bit of research.  I hope you enjoy them!
