can anyone help me find the article or other resources where students (or preservice teachers) can chart their mathematical autobiographies using a line graph as a way to think through their histories as math learners? I know I have seen this, and cannot find it!

This blog post, by Ian Maurer is a quick and easy read about how extensions can really make a task sing (or chirp). This blog post reminds me that a stories task can start off simple and with the right perspective, can make the mathematics very deep and complex.
