f(t): Soldiers in the War on Innumeracy (innumeracy and place value)
From The Function of Time blog - f(t) - A Math Teacher's Reflections and Guerrilla Professional Development
The f(t): Soldiers in the War on Innumeracy Tuesday, January 5, 2010, blog entry is great! Soldiers of math onward; especially against those who take pride in "not knowing math" or "not ever being good at math." Wait ... place value is hopefully learned by 3rd grade. The difference between varying units of measure is hopefully acquired around 4th grade. The recorded conversation with Verizon representatives is hilarious or maybe depressing.

This video is posted on Professor Michael Wesch's blog.
If you're a fan of The Office, you will definitely appreciate this video. If you're not a fan of The Office, you will still notice that unfortunately too much of this video is an accurate reflection of what goes on in a lot of classrooms today.
