Pirate Math

I mentioned in a previous post that I'm working on a new way for people to learn Math. I've decided to use an online Pirate game as the delivery mechanism because it provides plenty of opportunities to introduce Math concepts in a natural and fun way.

For example, following a map to find buried treasure introduces the concept of 3D Cartesian coordinates, playing a game of cards below deck introduces probability, and steering a ship between islands introduces geometry.

I'm only in the planning stages right now, but it feels promising. I'll blog regularly about the evolution of the Pirate Math game. Arrrrrrrr!
