Hold infinity of questions in a piece of grid paper

The Math Teachers’ Circle (MTC) Network, developed by the American Institute of Mathematics, successfully fostered a culture of creative problem solving among middle school teachers throughout the US.  MTC sessions provide teachers with opportunities to discover mathematical facts and theories, to ask and answer their own – sometimes deep and always exciting – questions.  In this talk, we will provide examples of some such questions with unexpected ramifications that spring up from observing grid paper.
