Topology is typically reserved for university students because of its abstract nature and the advanced mathematics it builds on. However, the visualizations and examples of topology are accessible to anyone. Topics like Knot theory, Combinatorial topology, and Topological Invariants have general concepts that are accessible even to a middle school student. I will be researching how these concepts Topology can be used as motivation for a grade school student and can provide them with an introduction of what it means to be a Mathematician. I think that this topic should be important to anyone who wants to find more ways to get young kids interested in math. I also think it is fun to learn about unique styles of teaching and different lessons that people have used. I am open to any ideas or topics anyone thinks might be relevant or helpful!
