Dear Math Majors planning to teach, A Math Teachers' Circle is an organization whose mission is to promote a culture of enjoyment of mathematics problem solving activities among middle and high school teachers with the expectation that they will take the activities and their enthusiasm back to their classrooms. The Brazos Valley Math Teachers' Circle hopes to provide this opportunity to the teachers in the Brazos Valley and provide them a forum where they can meet and discuss curriculum and classroom issues in a relaxed atmosphere. We are opening up our meeting to future Math Teachers so you can experience these activities before you go out into the classroom. The Brazos Valley Math Teachers' Circle is having its 6th meeting on Monday May 4, 2009 at 5:30-8:30 PM.
