Math Circle: Problem Solving

Day, Time, & Location: Thursdays, 3:30 to 4:30, Garden Classroom
Length & Dates: March 2 to April 6*, 2017

Curriculum

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.
