A Teachers' Circle Summer Workshop will be held at the University of Arizona June 16-20, 2008. This workshop supports teachers in their development of problem solving skills. A major theme will be to find creative strategies to incorporate interesting, rigorous problems into the existing school curriculum. The sessions will be led by exemplary educators and mathematicians from the Tucson area.
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.

Teachers and university faculty members gather from 5:30–8:00 PM once per month to participate in problem solving, have dinner together, and share classroom experiences.
All middle school mathematics teachers who are interested in exploring engaging, accessible topics in mathematics and who strive to incorporate a problem solving approach in their classrooms are encouraged to participate.
Participants gain a variety of resources, membership in a dynamic community of mathematics educators, and a renewed sense of appreciation for the fascinating world of mathematics. Teachers will also earn recertification credits for their involvement.
