Curriculum
Students who have just learned to count can play with the Cookie Monster Problem, yet there is sufficient depth to engage graduate students,” says mathematician Gabriella Pinter in Inspiring Mathematics. Participants “experiment and practice unstructured problem solving, make up and test conjectures, and develop different strategies for the problem.” Students may create their own algorithms and also test other algorithms including the Greedy Monster Algorithm, the Binary Algorithm, and the Least Jars Algorithm.
MATERIALS NEEDED – Students should come to this online class with 15 jars/cups labeled with the numbers 1-15 and also 120 cardboard cookies or other counters.

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.
