Burger feels that “math trauma” is commonly inflicted upon America’s elementary and middle-school students, particularly girls, having received a seventh-grade report card stating: “Eddie is a nice boy, but he’ll never do well in arithmetic.” He offers his students “challenging questions for which the solution is by no means apparent”. For example, when teaching students about topology, he asked students if it is “possible to take a cord of rope 6 feet (1.8 m) long and tie it snugly around your right ankle and your left ankle, take off your pants, turn them inside out, and put your pants back on without ever cutting the rope?” He proceeded to demonstrate the solution to that challenge, wearing huge Boston Red Sox boxer shorts under his trousers, at the Boston Public Library in the summer of 2005.
