Learn more about teaching mathematics beyond the walls of our classrooms, put on a comfortable pair of shoes and head to the Bean for a math trail in Millennium Park (limited shuttles available from McCormick place). In this active learning session led by Ron Lancaster, you will learn firsthand how to develop a math walk of your own to help your students see mathematics everywhere and to relate mathematics to the world around them.

NOTE: This event has reached capacity.
