1 Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ~Albert Einstein Getting Students Engaged in Advanced Math Problem-Solving In the article the Math Revolution Peg Tyre reports on the growing number of U.S. students who are enthusiastically taking part in after-school and summer programs for advanced math problem-solving and the fact that America s teenage team won the gold medal at the 56 th International Mathematical Olympiad in Thailand last summer. Here s an example of the type of problem that students in these programs are asked to solve (more at Imagine a rope that runs completely around the Earth s equator, flat against the ground (assume the Earth is a perfect sphere, without any mountains or valleys). You cut the rope and tie in another piece of rope that is 710 inches long, or just under 60 feet. That increases the total length of the rope by a bit more than the length of a bus, or the height of a 5-story building. Now imagine that the rope is lifted at all points simultaneously, so that it floats about the Earth at the same height all along its length. What is the largest thing that could fit underneath the rope? (a) bacteria, (b) a ladybug, (c) a dog, (d) Einstein, (e) a giraffe, or (f) a space shuttle. Problem-solving summer and after-school classes demand that the pupils execute the cognitive bench press: investigating, conjecturing, predicting, analyzing, and finally verifying their own mathematical strategy. The point is not to accurately execute algorithms, although there is, of course, a right answer (Einstein, in the problem above). Truly thinking the problem through creatively applying what you know about math and puzzling out possible solutions is more important. The Math Revolution by Peg Tyre in The Atlantic, March 2016 (Vol. 317, #2, p ), Rising 9 th Grade Parents, if you are interested in Summer Programs for Acceleration for your student, you can find further information at Catalog.pdf.
