Top Ten Math Problems You Won't Find in a Textbook
The best math problems are rarely going to come from a textbook. I spent thirty-two years inventing, stealing, developing, scrounging up and stumbling across REAL LIFE (no, really!) math problems. And I would love to share my top ten with you. I have very little to say about educational philosophy; I just have cool problems that are challenging, interesting and easily posed.

Teaching Math at Children’s Hospital:
Rewards, Challenges & Implications
Last year, Steve spent his sabbatical as a volunteer mathematics teacher at Seattle Children’s Hospital, which has an on-site school, staffed with six fulltime instructors, and a few volunteers. He will share some of the extraordinary rewards and challenges experienced as well as implications for teachers who have students hospitalized for part or most of the school year. Volunteer opportunities at Children’s and similar settings will also be shared.
