Thank you for filling the seats at our talks, visiting the Math Forum booth by the hundreds, and telling us you really appreciate the rubrics we provide to score your students' submissions to the Problems of the Week. To celebrate, we're making the "best $20 I ever spent" go even further, extending our special NCTM Conference offer to all. Purchase a Teacher Membership now, and it's good through August, 2006. That covers the rest of this spring, the summer, plus all of the coming academic year. A $20 Teacher Membership supports the Math Forum's overall work, and gives you: - unrestricted access to the Active Problem Library of over 800 non-routine, open-ended problems in elementary mathematics, pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry, all organized by level, topic, and difficulty - an account to monitor online work by students as they develop problem-solving and communication skills together - access to organized online materials and activities such as answer checks, highlighted solutions, and commentary Renewal memberships for current teacher and student members cost only $10. TEACHER SUPPORT PAGES Many problems in the Active Problem Library also feature Teacher Support pages, which outline the concepts involved in a PoW and provide connections to Standards and related problems. For a free sample of a Teacher Support page, visit: http://mathforum.org/pow/support/pow3.teacher.html A Teacher Support page also accompanies each of the four current PoWs, available every other Thursday with a problem when it comes up for preview. For a list of all problems that have accompanying Teacher Support pages, please visit the following link.
