President Address: Bringing Joy to Teaching and Learning Mathematics
Thursday, March 17, 2022
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

What brings you joy in teaching and learning mathematics? What new mathematical connections have we made? Where have we encountered mathematics to see and understand our world? How have we engaged others in doing mathematics? Are there things keeping the joy from our world of mathematics? Let's look reflectively and deeply at what we love about doing mathematics, engaging with mathematics, sharing mathematics with others, and what might be inhibiting that joy. We will explore problem solving, look at mathematics in our world, examine ways to empower our students and ourselves in learning mathematics, and identify structures or practices that may be inhibiting our joy in mathematics. Come share and rekindle that joy in mathematics!
