This week’s mentee/mentor activity is to do an interview. This isn’t like a job interview, so don’t get nervous! The idea is to have a conversation about each of your experiences about math. Share stories with each other. At the end, tell the group about some things you noticed.
What are the similarities and differences between your mentor’s experience and your experience with math?
In the leadership seminar, we noticed that when you google “mathematician,” you find almost all elderly, white men who lived decades ago. How does that representation of mathematicians compare to your experiences?
Earn points toward prizes for each comment you post!
Don’t forget you can still play Tic Tac Toe and the other versions with family, friends, and your mentor. Post a comment about your strategies on that blog post to earn points. Also, you’ll need dice or spinners for the mentoring session on April 30, so make or find some to be prepared!
