While the program is aimed at math specialists working in grades 5-9, teachers from other grades or roles are encouraged to participate if interested. Teachers from lower grades with a deep interest in mathematics may find a new mathematical community, build mathematical and social connections to teachers of higher grade levels, and immerse themselves in the joy of mathematical problem-solving. Teachers from higher grades will still find challenge in our activities, benefit from discussions of teaching practices, and build helpful connections across grade levels. If you are interested in participating, but have questions, don’t hesitate to email us: WayneCountyMTC@umich.edu.

Mathematicians:
We are actively looking for mathematician facilitators for monthly meetings in the 2022-23 school year. Starting September 2022 meetings will take place the 3rd Tuesday of each month. (See 2022-23 Program for exact dates.) Sessions are run as interactive problem-solving sessions, usually focusing on one or two open-ended problems. Typical sessions allow time for discussing connections to middle school topics and problem-solving in grades 5-9 classrooms.
The same material is used at both and you can facilitate one or both sessions.
Contact WayneCountyMTC@umich.edu if you are interested. Please include a little bit about yourself and any ideas you have for session content.
