A Math Teachers’ Circle is a place where math teachers and mathematicians come together to explore problem solving approaches with interesting and fun math problems and to share classroom experiences and success. Teachers will participate in a process of learning that puts the enjoyment back in mathematics through the investigation of intriguing problems. A Math Teachers’ Circle provides guidance and support for promoting critical thinking and problem solving in the classroom.
Math Teachers' Circles were developed by a group of teachers and mathematicians in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 2000s. The first Math Teachers' Circle was founded in 2006 at the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM), one of six mathematics research institutes funded by the National Science Foundation. A growing body of research suggests that Math Teachers' Circles:
