Let’s Begin…

This week's #TEDEdChat is co-hosted by Catherine Casazza (@mscasazzaIA) discussing the need for a math class makeover. Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect — and excel at — paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think.
