“it is OK to be nervous. In fact, it is often good to be nervous. It is the sign of a life being lived. It is an indication that you are about to grow into something more than you were yesterday.”

I am currently reading Mathematical Tasks by Chris McGrane and Mark McCourt. I also follow several UK maths teachers and really enjoy the tasks they share. It makes me wonder about task design - is it part of the teacher training program or just related to who I follow?
