Math Colloquium September 9, 2009 From Tsuruda to Sicherman: 11 of the Best Math Problems Ever

As the math methods instructor for a nearby teacher education program I am often asked by pre-service teachers, "where do I FIND great math problems?" From
my experience as a student in Gary Tsuruda's 7th grade class, a mentee of Jo Boaler, a middle- and high-school math teacher, a collaborator of Keith Devlin, a
participant of the Park City Math Institute, an Asilomar afficionado and now a teacher educator, I admit I've stolen (and experimented with) a ton of great math
problems. Perhaps part of creating the "ideal" math curriculum is having a bank of "tried-and-true," "groupworthy" and "rich" math problems that support, intrigue
and challenge a wide variety of students. Come play!
