    Opening Session

    Christopher Danielson and Melissa Gresalfi
    Wednesday, November 28  | 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.

    We explain how mathematicians' work and children's mathematical play are connected through exploration guided by curiosity and a pursuit of something interesting and beautiful. We share several examples from our respective and shared work of children asking compelling "what if?" questions that create a meaningful context for their mathematical explorations. In turn, we ask, what does this mean for school mathematics?
