"Bucky the Badger" was first shared with me by a beloved colleague of mine a year ago (Thanks Graham!). Engaging with this problem led me to Dan Meyer. This man is PURE Awesomeness. Check out his TED Talk and blog! Dan Meyer's perspective is fresh, clear and simple. Teach quality math, and the rest will come. One of the problems on his site is the "Bucky the Badger" problem. It comes with a video, and questions in "workshop friendly" format. Share this with your students and see how they do!
