Math Club For Grown Ups

We had our 2nd meeting of the math club for grown ups. The first meeting was in June last year. We’re getting together as educators/admin/board office staff/EAs/teacher candidates (hence the all encompassing word “grown ups”) and doing math together.

We did several questions.

We worked on the questions in random groups and got pretty close to solving them. Part of the fun is deciding what steps to take to solve them.

It was such fun to work with colleagues from 4 different high schools, and 2 of our feeder schools, and to have our principal and several superintendents doing math all together. We look forward to another meeting in December.

The questions for this meeting came from Peter Liljedahl’s old website of good problems for teachers, and from Al Overwijk’s site slamdunkmath. Have a look there for the sequence and ideas pulled from the sequence of fractions.
