Math Teachers’ Circle Program: Goals and Achievements Towards a Culture of Problem Solving Among Middle School Teachers

The mission of the national Math Teachers’ Circle (MTC) program, developed at the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM), is to establish the foundation for a culture of problem-solving among middle-school math teachers in the U.S.
The MTC program seeks to establish a national network of regional MTCs.  In the first two years of its existence we helped to launch a score of MTCs from California to New York City, and all these diverse groups confirm that by fostering a confidence to tackle open-ended math problems, middle school teachers become better equipped to initiate more student-centered, inquiry-based pedagogies in their classrooms.
