The part of this chapter that was important to me was connecting the material to the interests of the children. The students will learn better if they feel that the material is related to something they are interested in.
This jumped at me because I have always thought I will ask students what they are interested in and then develop math tests targeting those subjects. It will be time consuming but eventually I will have a pile for people who like sports and a pile for people who are into theater, and any other thing the students are passionate about. I believe math is everywhere and this is a good way to show that to the students.
