The Mathematics of Game Shows, Anniversary Edition

Presented by Bowen Kerins

Game shows are filled with logical and statistical questions, from the players' perspective but also from the producers' perspective. How are budgets estimated? How are games built toward a particular probability of victory? We'll play games and win prizes, then discuss the math from both sides of the games.

May 14, 2020 07:00 PM : Celebrating 100 Years with 100 Problems Involving 100

Celebrate NCTM's Centennial with 100 problems involving the number 100. We won't have time to solve them all, but you'll solve some, discuss others, and leave with a full set! Along the way, we'll discuss some deep mathematics, talk about problem posing, and maybe even generate a few new problems. Come to this session and centuplicate your fun!
