The objective of the course will be to participate in the design and construction of a new collection of mathematical problems and activities targeted for the school math curriculum at the intermediate level. The problems we work with have a rich structure that will lead us to a higher level of mathematical sophistication than is found in the classrooms today. Working in small groups, the students will be asked to construct, analyze, and present examples of their own.
