Global Math Week 2017

In October 2017 a global phenomenon in mathematics occurred. All was grassroots. All was volunteered. All was propelled by our beautiful global community of teachers simply wanting to share the absolute joy and wonder of mathematics — school mathematics — in their classrooms with their fabulous students. It was Global Math Week 2017.

Here’s a brochure outlining the statistics of it all.

And here’s a blog article describing the incredible experience (and a PDF file version of it: Medium Blog).

• ON-LINE SHORT COURSES!

  QUADRATICS, Permutations and Combinations, EXPLODING DOTS, and more!

  Written for educators - and their students too! - this website, slowly growing, takes all the content Tanton has developed in his books, videos, and workshops, and organizes it into short, self-contained, and complete, curriculum units proving that mathematics, at all points of the school curriculum, can be joyous, fresh, innovative, rich, deep-thinking, and devoid of any rote doing! Let's teach generations of students to be self-reliant thinkers, willing to flail and to use their common sense to "nut their way" through challenges, to assess and judge results, and to adjust actions to find success. (Great life skills!)
