This workshop is aimed at exposing secondary (grades 6-12) mathematics teachers to interesting, non-routine problems they may not have before experienced. We will be focusing on problems related to Geometry, Algebra, and Statistics. There will be an emphasis on peer collaboration, as well as opportunities to develop lesson plans using the problems we explore.
