This is the eighth book in the Teacher Program Series. Each book includes a full course in a mathematical focus topic. The topic for this book is the study of continued fractions, including important results involving the Euclidean algorithm, the golden ratio, and approximations to rational and irrational numbers. The course includes 14 problem sets designed for low-threshold, high-ceiling access to the topic, building on one another as the concepts are explored. The book also includes solutions for all the main problems and detailed facilitator notes for those wanting to use this book with students at any level. The course is based on one delivered at the Park City Math Institute in Summer 2018.
