Math Circle: The Cookie Monster Problem
Facilitator: TBD
Ages: 9-11
Day, Time, & Location: TBD
Length & Dates: Six week series of one hour classes Starting the week of September 21, 2020
Tuition: Tuition for the series of 6 classes is $180. The discounted rate for Talking Stick Family Members is $150.
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.

We are looking forward to in person programming in the fall! Harmony has filled up fast but we still have a few spots open on Thursdays for 4 to 10 year-olds. The summer is whizzing by so consider registering now. Please direct all questions to katherine@talkingsticklearningcenter.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
There are changes on the horizon at Talking Stick. We are reorganizing due to the pandemic and are planning in-person programming (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; 9am to 3pm) for 4 to 10 year olds as Harmony Learning Community at Awbury this fall. Registration opens in May. Please check back soon for details or email Katie at katherine@talkingsticklearningcenter.org with questions.
While Math Circle will not be held in conjunction with Talking Stick at this time, Rodi will continue to run classes and can be reached at rodi.steinig@gmail.com.
