Workshop description

This workshop supports teachers in their development of problem solving skills as well as the incorporation of problem solving into their school curriculum. The sessions will be led by exemplary educators and mathematicians from the Tucson area.

A major theme will be to find creative strategies to incorporate interesting, rigorous problems into the existing school curriculum. To this end, teachers will experience sample problems and will be supplied with hand-outs and resources based on the material covered in their workshop sessions. Focused discussions will be held to determine solutions to perceived obstacles and to offer support in teacher quests to improve mathematics instruction.
