How cool is this?Imagine using an image like this to introduce mathematics in the classroom.
The NCTM journal Mathematics Teacher includes a monthly segment called Mathematical Lens. It gives interesting photos that can be used to investigate mathematics and link mathematics to the world around us.
The picture here is an image of stairs leading to a shrine for the Buddha in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. It was taken by Ron Lancaster (an editor of Mathematics Teacher), and it's a fabulous example of where extreme slope can be seen in the real world.
