| Title of Talk | Building Towards Student Ownership |
| Abstract | Why should a student choose to continue his or her study of mathematics beyond high school? How can we enrich our mathematics classes to make them more interesting and engaging? How can we introduce students to the culture of mathematics, and bring them into the community? I will argue that one way to address these questions is to trust in the students and return to them the ownership of the mathematics, both the content and the process. We might even have some time to discuss how we can pull that off without looking too foolish. |
