Syllabus

Most of three-hour lessons of the course will consist of two parts: (1) an interactive lecture on selected topics in mathematics and science; (2) small-group work on posing new problems based on the lecture’s activity. Most of the home assignments will require from the participants to continue problem posing up to formulation of a high-quality problem for others to solve.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to:

better understand some connections of high school mathematics to modern mathematics.
use different approaches to problems outside of high school curriculum.
develop skills of creating new problems for high school students.
