This class will last for seven sessions. The first two will be a review of what I offered in the fall. People who did not come to the fall class are definitely invited and encouraged to join this session. The initial class had people of diverse math experience and skill. We all blended together in a common, cooperative inquiry.

In the fall, we talked about equations and how to solve them. I introduced some basic math vocabulary and found that it really does make sense. The participants asked lots of questions and reported having an enjoyable time.

The focus of this class is to continue making Algebra accessible and enjoyable through cooperative inquiry. I especially hope that folks who doubt their math ability and/or are anxious about things mathematical will join this group.

Instructor Rashi Nessen has degrees from Yale and Stanford, but he learned to have fun with Algebra while he was an elementary school math teacher at Bridge School in Middlebury, Vermont for 30 years. His greatest enjoyment was teaching beginning and more advanced students to approach Algebra with curiosity, creativity, and fun.
