Welcome to the American Institute of Mathematics Math Teachers' Circle, which is in its fourth year of operation. The AIM Math Teachers' Circle is the founding member of the national Math Teachers' Circle Network.

We are proud to announce that the Tellabs Foundation is supporting our Summer 2010 workshop, which will be held at AIM in Palo Alto, July 6-9. Please see the full story here.

To view our previous years' activities, please follow these links: 2008-2009, 2007-2008, 2006-2007

Every month from September to April (except December), the AIM Math Teachers' Circle will offer an evening event for middle school math teachers interested in exploring accessible, exciting topics in mathematics and learning about a problem-solving approach to teaching math. All teachers are welcome to attend. Please contact us in advance so that we can have sufficient food on hand. Dinner is complimentary.

The events will typically be held at AIM on Thursday evenings from 5:00-8:00 pm.
