I'll conduct a math circle for the first part of the session. (If you haven't seen the problem before, you get to participate. If you have seen it before, you get to watch a math circle in action.) Then I'll host a discussion about how it went, how it might go if done in a class, and what topics in the curriculum might lend themselves to math circle format. We may also want to discuss what other low-tech ideas folks have, and how we can deeply engage students through both low and high tech methods.

ReplyDeleteWill there be a recording of this event for those that missed it. I wish I could have attended.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing yesterday. It was very insightful. I am works to not give my students answer but have them figure out more. I am still working on which concepts are better to explore and which are better just to tell. It is also even more complex when the curriculum is tied to a high stakes test.
