The Math Forum

Description: In our Math Forum, students will have the opportunity to explore the great theorems that have shaped mathematics and the brilliant minds who discovered them (whether they were discovered or created is another worthy topic for consideration in our Math Forum!). They will also solve puzzles and problems that have challenged mathematicians through the ages. Approaching these ideas from a historical perspective will allow students to connect with the human side of mathematics while gaining an appreciation for the concepts and skills involved.

The Forums will meet twice a month for one semester.

Because there are no graded assessments, students will not receive a grade or credit for participation in the Forum. The students may be asked to read a short text for discussion by the group or a student may be asked to share a writing sample with the group. These assignments are meant for group discussion and conversation, but students will not receive a grade for them. Click here for more information about the Memoria Academy Student Forums.

Grade Level: 7-12 (ages 12-18)

Prerequisites: None

Required Materials: Students will be engaging actively with other students and so they will need a USB headset microphone and a camera (a built-in camera may also work)..
