President Address: Bringing Joy to Teaching and Learning Mathematics
Thursday,

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!
