Join us to learn how to lead math circles, for people of any age! We are now offering self-contained, two-hour crash courses, which share the basics of how to lead math circles in the tradition of Bob and Ellen Kaplan. Each course will:
1. Start with a demonstration circle, with the course participants as the students. This will give you the opportunity to experience this kind of discussion-based collaborative learning first hand.
2. Continue with instruction about the basics of leading math circles, including the philosophy, math and pedagogy points, and other tips and tricks.
3. Conclude with a discussion of the content covered and your own thoughts on participating in a circle (and you are very welcome to stay after the two hours to discuss more).
4. Provide further pedagogy resources and some math topic outlines for your perusal.
These programs will all be over Zoom, with a $50 recommended donation. Our upcoming dates:
• Wednesday, February 11, 8-10pm Eastern Time
• Thursday, February 19, 8-10pm Eastern Time
• Friday, March 27, 3-5pm Eastern Time
Please register here, and we will contact you to finalize registration. We hope to see you at one of our upcoming courses!
