Course space

Most course activities happen at the question and answer forum. Only participants who answered the sign-up questions can post there. That’s why the sign-up questions are in a separate place. It’s lovely to see all the different participants and their goals! Many people share interests, such as board games.

Elyse: I am a homeschool mom of five. I like reading, crafting and cooking. I like to play word games and solve crossword puzzles online and play board and card games with my children.

Adam: I am a mathematics professor at California State University Fullerton and I, with my wife, homeschool our three sons. I really enjoy playing board games (Carcassonne, Dominion, Pandemic, etc.), tennis, and talking about math. I read about the course on the blog, “Let’s Play Math!”. My personal blog is glsr.wordpress.com and my professional site is at bit.ly/adamglesser.

Marianna: I am a meditation teacher (before – owner of a shop for mothers, before – computer programmer). I’ve always loved math, and my husband and my son love it too. I like to solve puzzles, to play board games, to walk, swim and run, and to live in general. I am Russian and I live in Russia. My blog is http://marik_.livejournal.com and my web-site is http://omama.ru

Here is how to post questions to all participants.
