This hands-on, interactive session will focus on a selection of mathematically rich problems that promote perseverance, creativity, cooperation, and connection making. Particular focus will be given to the exploration of n-pointed stars with additional non-routine problems presented as time allows.

Each problem addresses Common Core Standards for Mathematics with particular emphasis on the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Participants will work together to develop solutions and discover underlying mathematical concepts. The n-pointed stars activity will illustrate geometry and number theory standards. All eight mathematical practices will be identified and emphasized throughout the session.
