Dear Colleagues, Friends, & Supporters,

Our new blog by Prof. Phil Hotchkiss describes how we are using the NOVA movie "The Proof" to help students understand the process of doing mathematics. Most of them have never heard of a living mathematician! Read our students' reflections on the role of mistakes, emotion, collaboration, and creativity in the process of doing mathematics.

Dear Colleagues, Friends, & Supporters,

We had a wonderful time facilitating the workshop at Assumption College and hope that this will start a yearly tradition of a New England IBL meeting! Additionally Phil Hotchkiss enjoyed working with secondary teachers on quantitative reasoning at Northern Arizona University. Our next workshop will be in March at Ventura College in sunny California :)
