baiting the hook

From Dan Meyer's TEDxNY talk:

Indicators that you're teaching problem solving wrong:
1. Lack of initiative
2. Lack of perseverance
3. Lack of retention
4. Aversion to word problems
5. Eagerness for formula

Thought this was a great talk! Shared it with the math department. Fingers crossed we can buy into the need to change instructional practices.
