“When students are stuck on a hard problem and have that ‘aha’ moment, that moment of clarity and satisfaction is so fun. For me, that’s what it’s all about,” Upper School (US) Math Teacher and Math Team Coach Joe Cyr said. Formed in 2009, the US Math Team teaches students new ways to solve problems. Joining the math team requires no competitive experience or specific class level. Students...
