I love math...I am the math geek in fact. I bought a College Algebra book just to do problems for fun. People made fun of me, but I compare them to crossword puzzles. Just something to keep your brain working.
As a teacher, I see many students hate math. They complain that they "Can't get it". I work hard with them and try to make it fun as mentioned in the OP. I make up stories and songs. Sometimes my excitement is contagious and they start to like math. Of course, in my school, the kids hate about every subject but Science. Science is hands-on and I love to do experiments. I try to incorpoate hands-on stuff in math, but it doesn't explode or change colors so no interest...
