    I love this TED talk by Dan Meyer!

    His 5 symptoms for doing math reasoning wrong is especially worth noting (1:57)

    I'm wondering if we can create an assignment for ED 330B in the Winter so that our apprentices can tie this in with our classroom practices.

    It would be great for mentors & apprentices to collaborate and design a performance task that reflects what math education can be.
