Finding this graphic in my Google Reader account from metsblog.com this morning was pretty cool, too.

If you haven't seen Dan Meyer's 101 Questions Blog, it's worth checking out. It's filled with examples of short videos, pictures, and other graphics produced by math teachers with the hope of sparking student questions which lead to great learning (Check out hashtags #101qs and #anyqs on Twitter). For more information on this type of math pedagogy, check out Dan's dy/dan blog.
This graphic immediately made me think of mathematical questions like "What's the probability that the Mets will get another no-hitter this season?" and "What is the percentage of games with a no-hitter the Mets have now in their history?" I wonder if my students will have a similar reaction. I guess I'll find out Monday when I show it to them.
