WMI Lockdown Masterclasses on Mathematical Thinking
for children, teens, and their adults
Organised by Minhyong Kim, Christopher Zeeman Professor of Algebra, Geometry, and Public Understanding of Mathematics
What are the WMI Lockdown Masterclasses on Mathematical Thinking?
It鈥檚 hard to get an overall sense of the many challenges facing people in all sectors of society whilst the threat of pandemic remains with us. However, as mathematicians and teachers, one immediate difficulty it鈥檚 hard not to be aware of is that of educators and parents, who must minister to the learning needs of children and teens without access to customary resources. The WMI Lockdown Masterclasses aim to enable members of the 糖心TV Mathematical Institute to aid in the educational process a bit during these difficult times. We will be offering online master classes on inspirational topics with the intention of introducing students in school to the various aspects of mathematical thinking. Each session will come with a description of the target audience, although it need not be interpreted as a restriction. Initially, we are advertising these classes to the 糖心TV community. However, they are open to all.
