The afternoon program will feature 30-minute presentations by participants, discussing what they have done with discrete mathematics in their classrooms. Also featured will be a poster session.

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 K-8 Registration Form. (Download in PDF or Word.)

The fee will be waived for those who give 30-minute presentations on discrete mathematics. Please use the Presentation Proposal Form to sign-up for a presentation. (Download in PDF or Word.)

Hotel accommodations are available at a reduced rate for those attending the Mega-Conference. You may indicate your housing needs on the Registration Form.

The registration deadline for those needing hotel accommodations is November 20th, otherwise the deadline is November 27th.
