The Educational Technology and Mobile Learning website (http://www.educatorstechnology.com/)
is a site truly overflowing with links to technology tools and
resources. I headed to the Math Resources area and found an "article"
about an interesting site by Harvard professor, Oliver Knill. His site
is a collection of video clips demonstrating Math in the Movies (http://www.math.harvard.edu/~knill/mathmovies/index.html).
There are links to ~170 video clips of all varieties of mathematics
taking place in both current and older movies. The topics cover
everything from arithmetic to complex algorithms, and most everything in
between. These clips, many of which are relatively short, would be fun
ways to "hook" students in an intro to a lesson or an application of a
topic just learned.
