Using both unsolved problems in mathematics and the book Avoid Hard Work, we will explore general problem-solving strategies. The goal is for students to move toward an understanding that (1) the pursuit of mathematics is not the same as memorizing a bunch of math facts, and that (2) there are ways of thinking that help to tackle a problem. The students will create their own problems for others to solve.
*The schedule may shift by one week to accommodate spring break.
Talking Stick looks forward to the time when we can return to our traditional in-person programs at Awbury Arboretum. We are offering alternative programming throughout the pandemic. Please check out our Talking Stick Family Membership for details, including many classes and activities. Our goal is to continue providing a safe and supportive space that respects the individual and nurtures children’s innate curiosity and desire to learn despite the challenging environment we find ourselves in.
