Refreshments + Conversation
Project lead is Dr. Erica Walker at OISE, University of Toronto. For more information, email us at ctl.mathstorytelling@utoronto.ca
*In 2021, we interviewed 31 mathematicians - their rich mathematical stories form a library of 90+ short videos for people all of ages. In this session, we share some of those stories, findings and implications for the public's engagement with math and K-16+ instruction, and invite you to share your own math stories and ideas for storytelling i n classrooms, schools, and communities!
This program is being offered in collaboration with the Fields' Math in Literacy program (https://fieldsacademy.ca/math-in-books/)
