| What | These are math workshops for all ages and abilities. In these workshops, we will go over new concepts in an intuitive way and then solve related problems that will require ingenuity and instill wonder. These classes are free of charge, but there is one strict requirement: a true and deep self-interest in math. | |
| Where | Reston Community Center - Hunters Woods |
|
| When | Saturdays, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM | |
| Why | At its purest level, math is an artform. It may seem like a strange statement since most people think of math as being the polar opposite of art: there is a hidden beauty in the patterns that one can find through self-discovery. Ever since I can remember I have had a passion for math, but I felt limited by the resources around me. I always wanted to learn more but I didn't know where to turn to. The school system follows a rigid and straight track that does not take advantage of our creativity. Often times, an example is explained and everyone repeats essentially the same problem until the routine is memorized. I believe that the best way for students to learn is to present a new problem and let them discover the answer by themselves. This builds a sense of wonder that only increases the desire to learn more. |
