Math teachers are always thinking about real world applications to math. Check out NASA's website for Space Math at http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov/. The goal of these problems is to teach students about astronomy and space science by using mathematics and real-world problems. The current batch is for January-April, 2010. As new NASA press releases are posted, a small number of additional math problems will appear. For email announcements about Space Math, join the E-Teachers Listserve.
Problem 328 caught my attention. It deals with domain and range and graphing. Students use satellite data to study a practical application of the product of two functions by graphing them individually, and their product. How cool is that?!?!
