Wayne County Math Teachers' Circle WCMTC
At its heart, a Math Teachers' Circle (MTC) is a community of like-minded mathematics teachers and mathematicians who meet regularly to exercise their mathematical problem solving skills. Teacher participants explore, question, conjecture, collaborate, and discover mathematical connections in small and large groups. Professional researchers in math and science together with experienced teacher educators will lead the sessions.
Below are the first four dates for WCMTC:
9/28/22
10/26/22
11/23/22
1/25/22
