Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Math Teachers Circle?

A Math Teachers Circle is a learning community designed to support its participants and ultimately help bring math enrichment to teachers and their students.  Participants will experience the joy of problem solving in the context of mathematics while building long term relationships with like-minded fellow teacher-learners. Rather than focusing on any particular grade level or curriculum, we will explore open-ended puzzles that give us a chance to exercise tools of mathematical problem solving.

Who can join the BSU MTC?

We are open to all educators and lovers of math! We welcome educators across all grade levels (K-12 and post-secondary) as well as math coaches and administrators. Please be sure to RSVP if you plan to attend (so we can plan accordingly with catering)

Do I need to attend every workshop?

Nope! Though we hope you will attend as many as possible to help build community, we understand that weekend schedules do not always allow it Please be aware that in order to earn PDPs, you must attend ten hours of programming (or five workshops throughout the school year).

What is the cost to participate?

The workshops are free for all participants.

...But will there be food?

Yes! We will provide breakfast snacks and coffee.
