STOP MAKING MATH LESSONS BORING!

We will show several ways that you can make math engaging and fun for your kids. We will energize your
inner bunny as you become a student today. We will give you the tools to make your classroom... literacy-
rich, interactive, a place to encourage mathematical discourse, challenging with weekly problem solvers
that make it real world, integrate science and social studies with blogs and projects, integrate writing
about mathematical thinking, and teach concepts with Ozobots.

Magic + Mystery + Math = A Winning Formula

Experience how students can use mathematics to explain seemingly impossible odds in
card tricks, counterintuitive results with dice, and mind reading with numbers. These
engaging activities get students excited about mathematics and require them to think
about the how and why of mathematics instead of just the what and when.
