Math Teachers’ Circle of Middle Tennessee
A Math Teachers’ Circle is a space in which math professionals (teachers, professors, grad students) can come together to engage in math play. Why? Because it features what we love about math.
I participated in co-founding #MTCMidTN in 2017 in partnership with Jennifer Lovett (Middle State Tennessee math education professor), Shannon Rider and Lizi Metts (Metro Nashville Public schools middle and high school math teachers). Growing to nearly 200 regular participants between 2017 and 2020, this community is an example of working to build partnerships across stakeholders in math.
