This fall the Fields Institute is proud to offer two programs for elementary classrooms and educators:
(1) Ask a Mathematician: brings math experts live into the classroom (virtually) to talk to students about what they do and spread the joy of mathematics. To request a visit for this program please go to:

These teacher programs are being offered on a pilot basis in late October / early November and we're looking for teachers (and teacher candidates) to take the courses and offer us feedback.
