The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics have recently launched an initiative to identify several grand challenges facing the field of mathematics education. This special episode collects thoughts from several past guests - Ed Silver, Jeremy Kilpatrick, Megan Franke, Judit Moschkovich, Barbara Reys, and James Tarr - about what they see as important areas for future research.
