"Whenever I lead the Northwest Iowa Math Teachers’ Circle I want to use a problem that is easy to explain, unfolds in many directions, and encourages inquiry.

In this talk Dr. Clark shared about a Math Teachers’ Circle session he recently ran centered around the children’s game Spot it! This game has some very interesting mathematics behind it and naturally begs to be explored with inquiry. He described the way he led teachers to ask questions about the game, the way the teachers then explored the topic, and the mathematics behind it all.
