Math Teachers’ Circles are an opportunity for middle level teachers and mathematicians to get together and work on some really interesting mathematics. The key component of these meetings is to have fun. We will engage in problem solving activities to increase confidence and provide classroom activities. Dinner is provided, so please contact Pari to let her know if you will attend.
