Math: A display of how not understanding math can cost you MONEY.

This video clip shows a young man lose $15,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, because he didn't understand a simple question.  I thought this would be a fun video to show my students as we are studying squared numbers.  I had my students watch to begin with and give their best answer.  Then as the young man asks for the audiences' help I had them possibly revise their answer.  Because he didn't understand the concepts of squares he ended up going with the audience's choice and lost $15,000 bucks.
