Welcome to the American Institute of Mathematics Math Teachers' Circle. Founded in 2006, the AIM Math Teachers' Circle is the original member of the national Math Teachers' Circle Network.

The Summer 2011 workshop has been canceled. We anticipate offering another workshop in Summer 2012.

We are proud that the Tellabs Foundation supported our Summer 2010 workshop. Please see the full story here.

Every month from September to May (except December and January), 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.
