The 淫性视频 project was inspired by the 鈥渞eal world鈥 approach to math at the National Museum of Mathematics.  The third graders played fraction hopscotch and told time with their bodies on a huge clock taped to the floor of the Fannie Lou Hamer event room.  They solved word problems,  reduced fractions and figured out how many geometric shapes and angles there are in the rug on the second floor of the Academic Center.

Faculty members who helped plan the event were Stacey Culleny, Instructor of Education, and Norma Boakes, Associate Professor of Education. The elementary and secondary math education students math daywho participated were Lauren Adams, Alexandrea Byron, Ashley DeMaio, Jessica Dorta, Deborah Hanson, Sage Carfagno, Katherine (Katie) Hillblom, Cathy Truncale and Sabrina Perry.
