Making Mathematics: Developing Mathematical Research Skills

EDC developed a set of Web-based materials designed to give secondary students a mathematics research experience: working on a hard problem over time, developing their own models, experimenting, conjecturing, proving results, and extending the problem. Mathematicians served as electronic mentors for students and teachers who participated in the project.
