Why a Math Cafe?

THINKING SKILLS

Math Cafe Society helps students develop the ability to think on their feet, as well as build intellectual agility. Students have to reason more deeply as they grapple with the complexities of solving logic and math problems.

In addition, students' perspectives and their ability to situate themselves to how others think is amplified, with gains in promoting creativity in problem solving and the ability to synthesize ideas.

MATHEMATICAL UNDERSTANDING

Math Cafe Society reinforces knowledge of mathematical content and skills for increased understanding and retention through thoughtful discussion of math issues, building mathematical vocabulary and usage through authentic discussions. Students identify as "mathematicians" as academic curiosity and interests increase.

SOCIAL SKILLS

Math Cafe Society promotes attentive and respectful listening. Students continue to learn how to respond respectfully to diverse thinking. Scholars also develop their voices and the ability to share ideas with others with a surge in students' confidence.

SENSE OF COMMUNITY

Math Cafe Society positions each learner to be heard and valued, and that he or she learns mathematics and solving problems through working with others.
