Robin Pemantle

Merriam Term Professor of Mathematics

Get ready for a lively, interactive Science Café with Penn math professor Robin Pemantle and Penn physics senior lecturer Bill Ashmanskas, both members of Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Innovation’s active learning seminar!  Join us for an engaging, interactive conversation about Pemantle’s new book, There Is No One Way to Teach Math, in which he and his co-author, veteran high-school teacher Henri Picciotto, share their collaborative insights. This resource is packed with creative, student-centered ideas for engaging learners and inspiring teachers, blending research and classroom experience in a way that’s practical, yet flexible. Instead of a step-by-step manual, the book encourages you to think critically, reflect, and spark discussions, just like you would in the teachers’ lounge or at a fun conference gathering. Come with your questions, ideas, and curiosity, and be ready to explore how to bring this book’s concepts to life in your own classroom.
