A new Julia Robinson Math Festival is starting up at the San Mateo County office of education on November 23, and we’d very much appreciate your help! The festival is for students in grades 4-8. We’ll have a math staff workshop from 8-9am followed by working with students until 12:30. If you’re a veteran of these events, then the workshop is optional.
If you can help us out, please sign up at http://tinyurl.com/JRMF2013SanMateoMath
The morning activities will cover a wide variety of mathematical
topics, including abstract problem-solving techniques like symmetry
and parity as well as content ranging from arithmetic and algebra
through combinatorics and topology. Students will have time to visit
at least five or six activities during the morning session. Each
activity table will be staffed by an expert, and upon reaching certain
milestones in their understanding of the mathematics behind the puzzle
or game or activity, students will be rewarded with raffle tickets for
the afternoon’s prize drawings. Thanks to our sponsors, the
desJardins/Blachman fund, we have an impressive array of prizes!
For those who want to staff a math table:
We need people who are comfortable with hard math problems, and who
can patiently work with kids to guide them toward progress. We are
looking for guides who will listen to what kids have worked on, ask
some (perhaps leading) questions, and then let the kids continue to
progress. If you’re interested, contact Joshua Zucker
<>, and if you’re not sure you’re
interested, contact him anyway and he can give more detailed
information about the expectations of the table leaders.
