Browse all Geometry Problems of the Week
Participation in the Geometry Problems of the
Week allows teachers and students to address the
NCTM
Problem Solving Standard for Grades 9-12, enabling students to
build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving; solve problems
that arise in mathematics and in other contexts; apply and adapt a
variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems; and monitor and
reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving.
