This experience is for educators.

The Global Math Project and our partners Edfinity and Scolab are pleased to provide educators the opportunity to earn official recognition for conducting professional development on the topic of EXPLODING DOTS! This is an experiential, Professional Development program that allows teachers to obtain a certificate of recognition for completing the requisite work at their own pace.

EXPLODING DOTS is a world-wide phenomenon! Over 5 million students and teachers across the planet have engaged in this astounding story of K-16 mathematics. It starts at the very beginning of mathematics--assuming nothing!--and swiftly takes you on a wondrous journey through grade-school arithmetic, high-school polynomial algebra, infinite sums and much more, even extending to unsolved problems that baffle mathematicians to this day! Complete this program and become part of the Exploding Dots Phenomenon.
