"Students need to be engaged in math class with questions that require them to consider a real situation, use real-world variables, and engage in data from the world. They need to learn to set up mathematical models from the situations and to problem solve, a process that is both engaging and extremely important for their future," (Boaler, 2016, p. 203).

In this video, Dan Meyer talks about breaking away from textbook problems. Textbook problems give a problem that has a simple question that usually gives exactly the information needed to solve the problem and some even walk the student through the solution process by breaking the problem into smaller parts or segments.

Dan Meyer talks about giving students the problem first and letting them wonder what information they need to solve the problem and how to solve the problem. This can happen before even teaching the skills needed to solve the problem.
