Welcome! I Love Math Day is coming up on February 14. In the preceding weeks, middle school students work in small teams to solve challenging problems. They are given one week to solve each problem and prepare a solution to submit to the judges.
By way of this blog we encourage all school families to read the problems and join in the fun. We hope parents and students at all grades will find ways to talk about these problems, puzzle over them, and enjoy the pursuit together. Click on the Older Posts button below to see the three problems posted so far.
These problems are published for the school community with a one week delay, so middle school students have already submitted their presentations. However, we love getting solutions from parents and all school families. Please email Mr. Lawrence with any questions or comments you have, and please send in solutions (glawrence@mustardseedschool.org).
The problem that really counts for the first week is Three Brothers and the Oak Casks. The other two are just for fun. They are great for warming up and thinking outside the box.
I look forward to hearing from you! Enjoy. Mr. Lawrence
