MathCEP is dedicated to educational outreach. Our mission is to develop educational materials and programs for mathematics students & instructors at all levels.





Looking to get students working in different groups, getting to know each other better, and engaging productively in a real mathematical problem -- while hiding the theorem until the end, when you connect their experiences to the math? Look no farther! ❓🙋z.umn.edu/mathcepblog


Looking for a way to engage your 3rd-8th graders in learning about fractions in a way that develops their conceptual understanding?👨🏫 📝Lessons from The Rational Number Project are this month's Highlighted Resource: z.umn.edu/tchrec #MathCEP #umn @UMN_CEHD @UMN_CI @mctm_mn

Oh, my! Mad Scientist, Prof. A, switched brains with Graduate Student B, but when the brain-swap machine didn't work the same pair of bodies, they lured Undergraduate C into the mix. What do they need to do to swap back? 🧑🔬🧠⚡️ Math Problem No. 6 is up at: z.umn.edu/mathcepblog



This week, we published part one of our four-part series on strategies on icebreakers that get students working together and engaging in mathematical problem-solving from the very first day of class. Part 1? Math Review Dominoes! Check them out: z.umn.edu/mathcepblog #mathcep




Today we celebrate Creola Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918 –2020) an American mathematician & NASA employee whose calculations were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine… #BlackInSTEM #WomenInSTEM #BHM

Tomorrow is February 1: the start of Black history month! We will be sharing profiles of Black mathematicians every day in February here and on our website mathematicallygiftedandblack.com. Feel free to retweet and share! #MG&B #BHM2021
