Gifted learners, who often crave problem solving and learn basic material without significant repetition, can lose interest in math instruction focused primarily on the memorization of discrete facts, formulas, and procedures. The answer? Math Circles! Participate in this interactive session as a mathematical problem solver and leave with new ideas and resources to use in your own classroom.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will understand and be able to describe the components of a Math Circle.
Attendees will be prepared to conduct a Math Circle with their own students.
Attendees will identify ways to infuse problem-solving and creativity in math lessons that also meet grade level math standards.
