Just got home from the WMC. Some really strong offerings this year. I especially like NCTM president Linda Gojak. She spoke about the mathematical practices. It confirmed my thoughts and only allowed to take things a little deeper. I strongly believe in tasks as entry points in a classroom, as enrichment, and as application. However, while walking through the vendor area it is amazing what they feel are still tasks.
I want to see literacy, engagement, visuals, etc... Publishers still give make believe problems sets. I would think that would be harder to do than actual tasks. Maybe they will get there someday. Until then, send me your tasks and I will gladly add them to the database being developed. I might modify them or reformat but I will get them on there.
