Strengths and Weaknesses of "Dividing by Zero"

Strengths:
- The activity was fresh, interesting, and different
- It allows a person to explore their creative side and makes one realize that math does not mean LIMITED by numbers!
- It gives a chance for one to delve and try to understand why dividing by zero is an area that no one want to step into from a different perspective
- It gives a chance for a student to explore in a fun way

Weakness:
- If we choose a word that has a different meaning in a mathematical context, it may make it more confusing for a student.
- It may not be really relevant in mathematics and there is a chance that nothing is learned or gained from it. It's just a "hoop to jump through", leading to a student that is fixed minded
- It could make a student that is not interested in poetry discouraged when they expect to be learning "math"

Interesting:
- I first realized that Math and poetry can bode well in a Harold and Kumar film...

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

- Asides from poetry, I want to try and mix different subjects with mathematics! (Like BIOLOGY. =) )
