Designed for precollege teachers by a collaborative of teachers, educators, and mathematicians, Moving Things Around is based on a course offered in the Summer School Teacher Program at the Park City Mathematics Institute. But this book isn't a ``course'' in the traditional sense. It consists of a carefully sequenced collection of problem sets designed to develop several interconnected mathematical themes, and one of the goals of the problem sets is for readers to uncover these themes for themselves. The goal of Moving Things Around is to help participants make what might seem to be surprising connections among seemingly different areas: ... Read more

Reviews for Moving Things Around
“Here, a sequenced and carefully curated collection of problem sets - not a grab-bag problem bank - guides students toward the awareness of connections between group and number theory. I feel that to realize the full potential for students to experience discovering these connections requires committing to a semester-length course; fourteen problem sets at roughly one per week. This would ... Read more
