Yes, agreed. This is the way that our math problem solving approach began and it has blossomed into learning mathematics through problem solving. It may seem contrived at first but it will grow organically as our deep understanding of how to be a teacher in a classroom where everyone learns and is able to follow their passions. Very exciting.
I love it! A routine to inspire innovation. I think this translates into "just do it" or there is no wrong path other than not taking the first step. I agree with you, we need to put ourselves and our students and parents into a "routine" of making innovation a priority in our days and weeks. Through actively making the time we will move forward. Thanks for your inspiration!
