Date & Time
Friday, July 11, 2025, 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Speakers
Description
A distinguishing feature of mathematics as a discipline is its precise use of definitions. Yet, that precision can be anti-democratic; in that it can impede the participation of novices such as our students .We will explore the boundaries between mental image and definition as we play with mathematical precision and determine what-really-is a vehicle, sandwich, or hexagon.
