  • Have you ever wondered about zero? Or what’s important about Fermat’s last theorem? Why do we care about rational numbers? Entice your students with stories that capture the excitement of mathematics and connect these stories to concepts they need to know. Participants will leave with several stories as well as sources to help in creating their own.
