					<description><![CDATA[I try to read all of your blog posts, because they always spark something for me.  But this one about strengthening this particular muscle really got me thinking.  I could not have expressed it the way you did, but it&#039;s what I want to strengthen also.  I loved the visual of the bananas and plan to show it to my students.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Dan, Following your talk at the AMTNJ, I created a Desmos activity with this picture. I had originally given it as a picture in my challenges folder for my students and asked the specific question &quot;How many suitcases?&quot; But following your great suggestions on creating more agency and interest in math investigations, in doing fake math for real world contexts or real math for fake contexts (I cannot quite remember the formulation on that), I thought I should instead ask the students to come up with &quot;math&quot; questions about the picture (I wanted to limit it to &quot;math&quot; questions to try to set some parameters for my students, but the hide-student-response button on Desmos will work too for that). Other interesting questions, like you note, include the radius size or the area contained by the ring or many other items that might come as questions. I&#039;d really love a blog post about that real math fake math and non-routine cognitive skills we could all be driving at in each of our classes. I&#039;m not there yet, but I feel like that focus would be a good one for me. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness on our craft of teaching and for always soliciting feedback on ways we use your ideas or ways we try to improve our own craft. I learn so much every time I read your materials and your readers&#039; comments and although I&#039;m 23 years into this game of teaching math, I still find it exciting to improve what I am giving the students and so appreciate having all these great materials you share so I can get better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dan, thanks for this unexpected shout-out and your kind words. I&#039;m still very much working on connecting these muscles myself. 

&lt;span class=&quot;featuredtext&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Featured Comment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;featuredcomment&quot;&gt;I would just add that we shouldn&#039;t forget that the classroom is a world within a world for us to notice, and that while many great, unforgettable tasks are based on interesting phenomena that we&#039;ve observed or collected outside of school, on a day-to-day basis, high-impact tasks are probably more likely to be rooted in our observations and interactions with our students (in fact, even the banana tweet and post were sparked by a conversation with a student who was eating what was, to me, an exceptionally green banana). They tend not to be as flashy, but can have just as much impact because they&#039;re tailored to the kids, norms, relationships, and histories in our classrooms.&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>
