Albuquerque Math Teachers’ Circle Mission Statement
The Albuquerque Math Teachers' Circle supports local teachers who desire
to explore mathematical ideas in a fun, encouraging environment. Our
meetings provide an opportunity for participants to work on interesting
problems, developing their mathematical knowledge, skills, and intuition,
with the support of leading mathematicians and scientists from the local
community.
Full Mission Statement
2012 Summer Teacher Circle Registration Now
Closed
We are pleased to announce that, thanks to generous funding from the National
Science Foundation and Sandia Labs, we will have a five day meeting this
summer in Taos from June 24 through June 29.
Invited presenters include Jim Tanton and Adriana Aceves.
Registration is now closed and the response has been fantastic
so we thank all of those who have applied!
During our monthly meetings, teachers will have a chance to engage in mathematical explorations which will strengthen their knowledge and their passion for learning. Local mathematicians and scientists, often assisted by APS math coaches, will provide teachers with challenging and interesting problems, offering guidance as needed. The goal is to build
a strong community of indepedent thinkers who view sustained creative
inquiry as fundamental to mathematical thinking.
Feedback about our sessions, including ideas for speakers or topics of interest should be sent to Michael Nakamaye nakamaye@math.unm.edu.
