Check out this week’s free activity for secondary students, and older intermediate students. A look at the Olympic circles in light of the 4 Color Theorem, a map of the world and tracking the path of the torch are but a couple of the offerings suggested in this short activity packet.

Current events are a proven way to engage students in authentic mathematics!

Many questions can be posed for students to think about during this time – based upon their level in school.
