PoW taking place: math problem-solving moment of the week
-
"This problem was one of those where the answer is staring you
in the face but you just can't see it. The key to this problem
lies in the triangle conjecture. However, to get to this point
you must first follow several pre-courser steps."

The Center for Innovative Teaching has announced its summer
weekend workshops. Taking place at the Urban School of San
Francisco and at Chapin School, in New York, math
