[Onlinepicos] Math Jam Tuesday Jan 30

[Math Olympiads]

MOEMS' second virtual classroom on Teaching Problem Solving will be 
held Tuesday, January 30 at 7:30 PM Eastern Time.

Olympiad instructor Marshalyn Baker will present and discuss online 
aspects of teaching of several classic Math Olympiad problems 
exploring Factors and Multiples for grades 4-8.

The Math Olympiads (MOEMS) and the prestigious Art of Problem Solving 
Web site (AoPS) have collaborated on this six-session series (called 
Math Jams) for PICOs. Its moderated nature allows you to interact 
with the MOEMS instructor during the session.

The schedule is posted both at our Web site, www.moems.org, under 
Professional Development and at the AoPS Web site under Math Jams.
