Matt takes us through his unique classroom, where he spices up math lessons by introducing real-life business scenarios, from redecorating walls to running a lemonade stand. His innovative methods don't stop there; Matt also dives into how he employs classic games like dominoes, cribbage, and chess to sharpen students' strategic thinking and mental math skills, proving that numbers aren't just figures on a page—they're the building blocks of strategy. But this isn't just a math lesson; it's a glimpse into the heartbeat of passionate teaching. You'll be inspired as Matt discusses how blending generations through traditional games can create a rich, educational tapestry.
