Friday Session E27 9:25 - 10:45 101A

Building a Community Centered Around the Love and Joy
of Mathematics through a Math Teachers' Circle

Has your relationship with mathematics gone stale? Have you lost that initial spark and
excitement you once had about the art of math? I have just the solution-a math teachers' circle
(MTC)! MTCs are communities of K-12 and higher-ed mathematics teachers that focus on the
enjoyment of mathematical problem solving. Sessions are highly interactive and fun! They
provide both professional and personal development with the ultimate goal of renewing your
joy and love for mathematics! Join us for a demonstration of what a MTC session is like and
learn more about MTCs available near you!
