Saturday December 8, 2001
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Program
For high school teachers who have participated in the summer
institutes of the Leadership Program in Discrete Mathematics (LP), or

The Colorful World of Marriage, by Barry Tesman
This workshop will have two parts: The Colorful World of
Colorings will deal with many different kinds of graph colorings,
and Matching and Marriage will discuss the application of graph
theory to the stability of marriages.
High-school participants who are already familiar with
these topics may want instead to attend one of the three workshops
offered to K-8 participants. See the Program Description for
additional information.
The afternoon program will feature 30-minute presentations by
participants, discussing what they have done with discrete mathematics
in their classrooms.
Inspired by the success of previous years, we will once again organize
a poster session for Saturday afternoon. We will set aside a room
where participants can informally share and display their discrete
classroom ideas, student work, lesson plans, and bulletin board
ideas. Please pack some discrete classroom goodies that will brighten
the walls and tables at the Mega-Conference and inspire others.
The cost of the conference is $50 (including continental breakfast
and lunch). To register, please use the HS Registration
Form. (Download in PDF or Word.)
The fee will be waived for those who give 30-minute presentations.
Please use the Presentation Proposal Form to sign-up for a
