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
