A (Mini) Mathematics Research Experience in a Math Teachers’ Circle Session
Michelle Manes, Linda Venenciano, and Seanyelle Yagi
We describe a single Math Teachers’ Circle session during which a group of teachers collectively engaged in a “mini mathematics research experience.” This provides a model for providing research experiences for mathematics teachers through content-based professional development programs. We conjecture that these experiences will have many of the same benefits as research experiences for teachers in lab sciences.
