An interesting thought.  You know, people may think I'm off (probably 
already do, :-)!) but I can't complete Math activities "cold."  
Instead I must "warm up" by practicing first, getting in gear, etc.  
Then, it seemed easier when I was in Math-Mode.  So your idea has 
merit.  Can you address the frustration idea though?  For instance, 
let's assume (I'll use my grade level students 7/8th) that the student 
is lost...no idea as it is new material so they become frustrated and 
sit for the 10 minutes gazing into the sky despite repeated prompts 
from the instructor....how would you motivate the student to give it 
the ole' school try?
