In my district, we are in an implementation year to get used to Common Core Geometry. Implementation year is code word for "training wheels transitioning to riding a bike". If you remember anything about learning to ride a bike, it was brutal. Well, it was for me. Endo over the handlebars, crash into a car, a tree, my brother. It was messy. But man, when I learned to ride a bike, it was so much more invigorating than those pesky training wheels.

At my old site, we had this cheesy video news that played once a week and included a "Would You Rather?" segment to get kids thinking. The beef I had with it was that they were asked to choose between being blind for a day vs being deaf for a day (or something even less relevant). I liked the idea, but it got old and wasn't related to the content that I was teaching. From that, the idea came up about creating a math version of such questions to get kids thinking. Oh yeah, and there's that "Standards for Mathematical Practice" thing.
