One thing I would like to post a caution flag on is "how math is taught" 
and instead focus on how math is learned.  The only universal in 
education is that every child has their own unique learning style. 

While I'm not questioning the years of research that can be reviewed 
about best practices in teaching and learning, we do not want to limit 
ourselves to only the best practices.  We need to also consider the 
dynamic nature of the technology. 

I have no doubt that we can develop enough activities to effectively 
teach 80% of children.  However, we must also strive to include 
activities that reach the remaining 20%.  There's nothing about an open 
source, connected platform that would limit teachers, parents and 
students from downloading alternative activities.
