Bright, Brave, Open Minds: Engaging Young Children in Math Inquiry

This book aims to introduce beginning problem solving skills to both children and the adults who teach them. The solving of a challenging problem takes time and creativity. The goal is to guide all math circle participants, students, and teachers to welcome the time it takes to arrive at a solution. The purpose of this book is to invite parents and teachers to experiment with their own children or students, without any preconceived notions of how the outcome will look. Instead, the book allows personal taste and the children's feedback to guide them.
