Free Mentoring Opportunities
http://mathforum.org/pow/
Mentor groups will be providing feedback to submitters in Problems of the Week over the next several weeks:
- Math Fundamentals from April 23 through June 3
- Geometry from April 30 through May 13
- Algebra from May 21 through June 3
Please have your students submit solutions. If they receive replies from a mentor, we hope you'll encourage them to revise. Not only will your students learn more, but the mentors will learn as well!
