Mr. Dale led his students on an exploration of  mathematics without the use of numbers! Starting with Mobius strips (a piece of paper that has only one side), students verified that the paper had only one side (surface) and then made predictions about what would happen if you cut the Mobius strip lengthwise once, and then cut lengthwise a second time.  They explored a famous puzzle called the Bridges of Konigsburg - which helped lay the foundation for areas of Mathematics such as graph theory and topology, and also discussed the mathematics of soap bubbles and used a cubic prism to produce a tesseract with soapy water.  Students also learned a game called Reversi which requires strategy and analysis of patterns to defeat the opponent.

Principal Olga Serebrennikov was invited to sit on the Math Schools Panel Discussion at the UpGrade Conference. The panel addressed the following topics:

- Why is math important?
- Strategies for teaching math.
- Differences between Russian, Singapore, American math programs.

- How to motivate a child to study math?

The Massachusetts Academy of Mathematics and Science is pleased to acknowledge the important contribution that has been made to the education of its students by teachers who have taught them in prior schools and classrooms. Juniors are asked to identify teachers who have played a significant role in their education.  MathAltitude lead teacher, Nathan Senecal, was honored at a special luncheon at the Mass Academy of Math and Science.  
  

to long-time teachers, Nathan Senecal and Liubov Smirnov, who were honored at our End of Year Award Celebration.

Our WPI Night of Engineering was an enormous success! It was a spectacular and exciting evening of engineering demos, video presentations, plus an informative and helpful financial session and materials for parents and students. Our audience was very impressed with the presentation by the IEEE Student Section members from WPI.

Alex Briskman, President of the WPI IEEE Student Branch, treated students to an up close and personal tour of the Atwater Kent Laboratories at WPI as a  follow-up to our WPI Night at MathAltitude. View the pictures of the projects in action!

Professor Rose engaged students in some "math fun".  He challenged students and parents to think about what they hear and read, and to use what they know about math to analyze what they see.
