Thursday, November 20, 2014: 3:15 PM-4:30 PM
361 AD (George R. Brown Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
James R. Matthews


Participants will work on an engaging set of problems that naturally call for proving results. Problems are based on numeric questions, algebra, geometry, and logic. They are accessible and motivating to secondary students. We’ll share student work and discuss how this material supports many of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Presentation Format: 9-12 Gallery Workshop
