I am a firm believer that math should relate to the real world and that students should never ask when they will use it. Students need to get out of their seats and see how this math will be used!
To get students interested in math I will use a lot of real life exercises and try my best to get them outside. If they can visualize how something works and then bring it back to the classroom it will be so much more powerful than me presenting it on the board. I also want to connect my lessons to their other classes. My senior year of high school I was amazed how all of my classes related, and it was so cool; it made me more interested in learning the material.
